Seems similar to bug 542947, though that bug says it last worked in Thunderbird 2.
What version did you update from?

I'm not entirely sure which version I upgraded from or which version the other users upgraded from I can only say "Versions prior to : Thunderbird/3.1.2"

It does seem to be a duplicate of the bug you listed, thanks.
