   "means that this is also a SeaMonkey bug" .... that YOU and YOU alone   
   have come across over twenty-odd years.   
      
   With your mention of Thunderbird .... have you got it open at the SAME   
   time as you are trying to use SeaMonkey??   
      
   Have you got SEPERATE profiles for Thunderbird and SeaMonkey?? Or are   
   you trying to run BOTH Thunderbird AND SeaMonkey AT THE SAME TIME USING   
   THE SAME PROFILE??
