User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.6 (20070728)

Info in the subject, sender, etcetera line does not always match the email that is retrieved. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.download mail
2.or open mailbox
3.
Actual Results:  
Some mail that's already in the inbox and then some mail that is being downloaded looks as though one is typed over the other.  It is then unpredictable which of the two emails you will see and read, once you click on one of the messages to read.

Expected Results:  
exactly what I have described above... 

The software should be showing each entry for my inbox as listed on a separate line; it should NOT be listed as one on top of the other.  If I click "delete", I lose both listings, since they are on only one line, on top of the other.  Loss of Data = Unacceptable for a mail program.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling - no success
there are instructions in bug 352694 for fixing this, i.e., getting a new device driver for your video card
Why should I get a new divice driver for a problem that only started when I  upgraded my Thunderbird mail program.  It needs to be fixed!
the newer version of Thunderbird exposes a bug in the device driver - the people responsible for the device driver have fixed the bug in their driver. 
where do I get the driver?
