Disable message "This site has requested that you identify yourself with a certificate:" in Thunderbird

Thunderbird as one(not the only one) annoying feature that it keeps asking you to chose a certificate to identify yourself. The text in the box is: "This site has requested that you identify yourself with a certificate:", then there is a drop-down menu to chose among your certificates, then there is a checkbox that says "Remember this decision", then the buttons "OK" and "Cancel".

Very nice, too bad it asks you for input every single time it needs to authenticate... this is real annoying, it seems the checkbox is there to taunt, because it feels Thunderbird cannot remember your decision...

The solution is simple, but you need to open the config editor "about:config":

• Linux: Edit/Options -> "Advanced" section -> "General" tab -> "Config editor" button.
• Windows: Tools/Options -> "Advanced" section -> "General" tab -> "Config editor" button.
• Mac: Thunderbird->Preferences...->"Advanced" section -> "General" tab -> "Config editor" button.

Search for the entry "security.default_personal_cert" and change it to "Select Automatically" (default value is "Ask Every Time").

Missing feature in MacOS mail: Archive

Thunderbird has a very nice feature, the archive button, that will send the selected emails into an archive folder.
So I created a service that does that, it will go through the selected emails, and it will archive them in "[Gmail]/All Mail" if the account server contains the string gmail, and Archive/<year> if not. 

The workflow can be found here.
 TODO: is still error handling if the destination mailbox does not exist.

To Install unzip to the folder ~/Library/Services.
