It worked great for years. Since thunderbird 60, it did not work because of incompatibility. However, I could install directly from github https://github.com/protz/LatexIt : the issue was mentioned and a work around was proposed.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.6.4).
Since then, I switched to *MarkDownHere* extension which supports TeX syntax and is working great (I am also using Markdown more and more often instead of TeX). Nevertheless I hope LaTeXit will be updated to be compatible with Thunderbird >=60. Very nice plugin, easy to setup and use when using thunderbird <60.

I have been using LaTeX It quite often for quite some time now. It is amazing that I can use amsmath, amssymb, amsthm packages as well as the Xy-pic package quite effectively. I use inline categorical diagrams and this has been a great add-on, since I can just write my mathematics directly in the email.
Some queries: would it be possible to add support for tikz pictures using tikz package ?
Would it be possible to use commands defined using \newcommand elsewhere ?

This is a fantastic add-on that I have used happily for several years. However it is now broken due some changes made elsewhere in Thunderbird: see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/52.0/releasenotes/ -- 'the way images are included'. It would be great if this can be fixed!

This is the most awesome plugin for Thunderbird. Worked like a charm on my Ubuntu 14.04 system since I already had TexLive installed--it just found TeX install and I'm typing equations to my students like mad.
One thing I just found though is that I don't seem to be able to properly escape a "$" between the $$ and $$ pairs. WHen I put a \$ in an equation, LaTeX complains. I can do it with an "insert complex Latex" function, but I thought you might like to know.
Thanks Jonathan!

I'm very happy with this add-on. It worked practically out of the box on my Debian system. For me the best feature is its support for additional packages and macros. Thank you!

Excellent tool to realize what I was looking for, for quite some time. Perhaps a somewhat more detailed documentation for full use of this module with texlive would save time. It is not easy to understand immediately how works this great tool. Thank you so much, Jonathan.

Exactly what I've been looking for. Works perfectly with Thunderbird 17.0 under Ubuntu 12.04, after manually adding the "LaTeX it!" button. Now I finally can write proper emails when discussing mathematics with someone.Thank you so much, Jonathan. Keep up the great work.
