Original summary:

When trying tp paste data from a lotus 123 spreadsheet (Lotus Release 9 version 
N9.0.9805.2800 I get a message saying thunderbird.exe has encountered a problem 
and needs to close. This occurs with simple paste and also paste as a quotation. 
If I paste without formatting everything works. Not a killer bug but thought you 
would want to know.

Maybe not "killer" but crashes are important.  Was the problem repeatable with 
1.0.2?  Could you try 1.5b1 or a 1.6 (trunk) nigntly build?
