I've noticed there is not alot of documenation out there for thunderbird extension development. 

I really useful set of pages would be overlays. 

Currently I am looking to create an extension that will allow the user to right click on an attachment and fill out a form with information pertaining to that file then the extension will save the file to a specified folder(assigned via preferences), and also create a txt document with the information from the form. 

I have been able to add an icon to the status bar, but that has been it. Right now I am looking for what file i need to overlay in order to change the context menu for attachments. 

I am developing this extension under thunderbird 3 beta 1. 

Besides the overlay I need to figure out how to interact with the attachments. 

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
