version → Trunk

What described in comment #1 is critical (I can't do anything but close the mail window), but this bug is not necessarily all there is to it.

I cannot reproduce this issue with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070511 Thunderbird/3.0a1 ID:0000000000 [cairo]

I only get the alert dialog that it couldn't connect to the server.
