Regression between 1.9a1_2006032811 and 1.9a1_2006032820.
That means: I see the problem also in a 29 March build.

Although I don't know if the term regression is right here.

Hm, I'll set it to critical although I expect there will be bookmark backups in the future.

I can't reproduce this anymore.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
