Go to Tools - Options - Advanced - "Offline and Disk Space" and select in "When
starting up" section "Ask me for online state on startup".

Restart Thunderbird. On starting up it will display message: "Would you like to
go online now? (If you choose to work offline, you can go online later by
choosing `Work Online' from the `File' menu.)

Well, there is no `Work Online' in menu at all. There is `File' -> `Offline' ->
`Work Offline' (it's checked when TB is offline and unchecked when it's online)

Reproducible: Always
Attached patch patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Patch that changes wording. English is not my native language, so it could be
improved, I guess.

Seamonkey patch

Well, the menuitem is in different places in different modules of the suite,
but the wording needs changing anyway...
