Title:
  a specially crafted message can cause thunderbird message control to
  be hidden

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  
  1)

  eve:[~]% lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
  Release:	10.04

  2)

  eve:[~]% apt-cache policy thunderbird
  thunderbird:
    Installed: 3.0.1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 3.0.1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 3.0.1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 0

  3)

  A message to put displayed with the normal, delete, archive, junk,
  etc. buttons.

  4)

  The buttons were not displayed.

  Please find attached two screenshots illustrating the problem.

  5)

  I have flagged this a security bug because, if you can visually exceed
  the widget buffer it might be possible to cause a buffer overflow that
  is more damaging (you can still process the message just with keyboard
  shortcuts)
