(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008041206 Minefield/3.0pre
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.12 (20080213)

I thought I'd set Thunderbird to download full messages only from addresses in my Address Book, but when I do this, I never receive a notification that new mail has arrived. This would have been very useful had it worked as I was hoping it would.
