Hmm, I'm still using Hardy 8.04.1 and with emacs22 installed the problem seems to have disappeared. Files in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/ are being executed. Can't speak with certainty about 8.10, but optimistic. -- /etc/emacs/site-start.d/ directory not read by emacs22 https://bugs.launchpad.net/b

Public bug reported: I just upgraded to thunderbird 1.5.0.7 under breezy. This behaviour is, I believe, new with this upgrade. I've never noticed it before, and it would be quite obtrusive to have random bits of text inserted into outgoing email. Steps to reproduce: 1. start thunderbird 2. comp
