Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091121 Thunderbird/3.0 Trying to install the en-GB dictionary, clicking "Download More Dictionaries" in Preferences opens a new mail window, then makes a bad job of rendering the download page in the body of the message.
Can you attach a screenshot ?

(In reply to comment #3) > Interesting. One way of putting it! > I get something quite different - I get a white page. I should point out that I initially get a normal composition window (including signature!), then the page starts to load and looks OK and then it ends up as shown in the screenshot. All very odd. > Does it work when you start Thunderbird in -safe-mode > (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode)? Yes: not massively surprising as I have no extensions installed (bar the dictionary which I downloaded by other means). I'd also add that I'm using a new profile (not one upgraded from 2.x)
Funny thing is you get a proper browser page if you click on spell check and then choose the install new dictionary from that sheet.
Urgh, well I'm pretty sure the fix will be simple. Annoying that I somehow managed to miss it.
