Regarding error #1, it is actually right according to english string:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/mail/locales/en-US/chrome/messenger/messengercompose/composeMsgs.properties#302

It says "Mail", not "Thunderbird" nor any variable to be replaced by branding.

Please, add some MailCo people to get fix this.

301 ## LOCALIZATION NOTE (quitComposeWindowMessage): don't translate \n
302 quitComposeWindowMessage=Mail is currently in the process of sending a message.\nWould you like to wait until the message has been sent before quitting or quit now?


Well, "don't translate". But, why?

I think that's a bug: the string should use &brandShortName; (instead of "Mail") or the analog infrastructure for that type of file. We could do this: file the bug about this, and after that, replace "Mail" with "Thunderbird" as a workaround for that bug.

Look at the "Depends on" section. I filed bug 409980 for that two months ago. :-)

The bug 409980 has been fixed committing changes to trunk (not MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH), and I have reflected changes in es-ES translation of Thunderbird 3.0a1 and SeaMonkey 2.0a1pre. Since the fix hasn't made it for Thunderbird 2.0.0.x, I can't fix it in that branch neither.

Cool, I didn't notice.

BTW, no one has talked about the 2nd issue in the bug. Has it been fixed too?
