Both of these patches "work" for me, in the sense that they fix the "comma" problem. I have been using TB 2.0 with attachment 320002 in a production environment today, and encountered no problems. The question is if the patches cause any regressions for other people, and if they are considered clean enough by the reviewers.
If you want to help, please build Thunderbird with appropriate patch applied, and report if it works for you, or if you encounter any problems. It would be good if these patches get some testing from different people, especially people working with other charsets than me (e.g Asian), and on other platforms (I did all my testing on Linux).
> Can they be implemented as extensions?
I seriously doubt it. You need to change the format in which data is passed between different Thunderbird components. That will hardly be possible without touching core code.
