[PATCH v4] Thunderbird: fix appp.sh format problems

From

The current script has got the following problems:
1) It doesn't work if the language used by Thunderbird is not english;
2) The field To: filled by format-patch is not evaluated;
3) The field Cc: is loaded from Cc used in the commit message
instead of using the Cc field filled by format-patch in the email
header.
Added comments for point 1), added parsing of To: for point 2) and
added parsing of Cc: in the email header for point 3), removing the
Cc: parsing from commit message.
Signed-off-by: Marco Stornelli <marco.stornelli@gmail.com>

v4: create a tmp file to allow correct perl parsing v3: parse only To: and Cc: in the email header, fix some comments v2: changed the commit message to reflect better the script implementation v1: first draft
