Thanks for taking the time to forward this bug report upstream, this is
a very valuable service and is quite helpful!  I agree with a Low
importance for this bug report.

This looks good to me.

This looks good to me also, thanks for checking with the reporter rather
than just setting the bug to Fix Released.  I agree with the importance
you'd give this bug.

This looks good to me.

Thanks for taking the time to test this yourself before commenting on
the bug report and waiting to hear back from the reporter before
Invalidating.  This is really the ideal workflow.  I believe the Low
importance is appropriate too.

I'm not certain I would have set the status of the Ubuntu bug to "Won't
Fix".  Since the thunderbird package is not version specific it's
possible that it could provide Thunderbird 3 in which case the bug would
really be Fix Released.  That's not really the important bit though,
what is important is that this bug is now hidden from default searches.
So if it is Medium importance, which I agree about, its likely people
will be looking for that bug and not able to find it.  I'd rather see
the bug left open in a Triaged state.

This looks great, thanks for testing with other mail clients and opening
the additional tasks.  Thanks also for forwarding it upstream.  I might
set the importance to Medium because while it is easy to workaround
people really shouldn't have to.

This also looks great, thanks for finding the relevant upstream bug
report.

Based on the work you've submitted you have my endorsement for
membership in the bug control team.
