If I forget that I'm composing a message, and exit Thunderbird, the program
deadlocks, and stops responding to any input.

I can't save the message being composed, and cannot exit Thunderbird.

I have to kill it using 'Force Quit'.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open compose window, start email message
2.Exit Thunderbird main window
3.You're now hosed
Chris: We shipped Thunderbird 2 today - I recommend you upgrade and see if you have better luck with that version. You can download it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/.
I just tried to replicate with version 2, and failed.

With version 2, the compose window gets control, and asks you if you want to
save the new message as a draft, or cancel, and the program exits cleanly.

Looks like it already got fixed.
