I agree, anyway, If you go to http://bugs.debian.org and search for package mozilla-thunderbird and filter only for distribution for stable, the top two issues are the ones of concern here ... so should pretty easy to find. Try: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=mozilla-thunderbird&archive=no&version=&dist=stable Anyway, I see that this might not be the most obvious way to go for users. > hints (meaning: more people involved - kind of uselessly). > IMHO, there must be a repository, a list, a means to get a message like > this one out.

There used to be a tool called apt-listbugs [1], which unfortunately stopped working with the upgrade of our new versioned bug-tracking system. Don't know if there is a substitude so far.
