OK, I've contacted the Thunderbird developers and they are fixing the 
issue in their trunk, 3.0 code but not in 2.0.x.  I need something in 
place sooner than that though and changing Courier's error response 
seems to be the easier quick fix.  Any hints on how to include the 
recipient address in the error?  I've found the relevant error message 
in courier/module.local/local.c line 412, but I'm not sure which 
variable would carry the recipient address.  Could anybody help with that?
