Comment 139 for bug 233901

Indeed that works with the -enable-extensions compile time options !
I've just documented it on:
http://www.int-evry.fr/s2ia/user/procacci/netscape/en/mozilla-autoconfig-en.html#htoc8
I don't know why it was marked as "fixed for 1.1" as it works even on 1.0.2 !?

however you need to recompile , it's easy (for me !) on linux, but not that much
on windows ..., see my problems on http://forums.mozillazine.org/ ->
thunderbird Build -> windows Thunderbird build

hope these discussions will enhence to use and need of autoconfig .
