Hello Joseph,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.
You made this bug report in 2011 and there have been several versions of
Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the
ticket?
Or, if it
A fix is in revision 42 of lp:alltray/old-maintenance -- Ubuntu is
welcome to pull it out, but I won't be making another release off that
branch. Adding Ubuntu to the bug; if someone in Ubuntu wants to
incorporate the patch, awesome, if not they can mark it as invalid.
Thanks for the bug report!
