Build Identifier: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/0.3/thunderbird-0.3-macosx.dmg.gz

I tried to download ThunderBird several times and each time the problem was the same: it gunzips 
fine, then starts opening the DMG, attaches and verifies happily, and then reports that there is no 
mountable file system in the DMG. And that's it, no way to go any further. The same thing happens 
with the latest nightlie that I could find for OS X.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download ThunderBird for OS X
2. Try to install it
Actual Results:  
Nothing, which is the problem :)

Expected Results:  
Mount the dmg.

Closed this as an OS X issue, not a thunderbird issue. The first attempt to open the dmg left a 
rogue volume mounted, which then caused all subsequent attempts to mount a "thunderbird" dmg 
fail with unrelated error messages. Force umounting that corrupted volume didn't work, only a 
reboot solved it.

But it wasn't a thunderbird problem, it now appears to be working perfectly well, thank you!
