[Bug 378265] [NEW] [Thunderbird] Cannot use Contact List

[Răzvan Sandu]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

Hello,

I'm using stock Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (plus all online updates as of May 18, 2009).
I've installed the following Thunderbird Extensions, directly from the Thunderbird repository: ImportExportTools and MoreFunctionsforAB.

I am using Romanian language; Thunderbird is set to send e-mail in UTF-8
by default (Preferences -> Display -> Fonts -> both drop-down lists).

Thunderbird performs normally (send/receive) but there are a few quirks:

- I cannot set/create the vCard file attached to messages as signature (Account Settings): pressing "Edit Card" button shows nothing;
- I can neither insert new contacts in Personal Address Book, nor edit old/imported ones. Creating a new address book leads to nothing (I am able to create it, but I cannot insert contacts);
- sometimes I get "Bad header" returns from my mailserver (which runs amavisd-new on Fedora); it seems it doesn't like the way read receipts are encoded.

I suspect an encoding issue here.

Running the same version of Thunderbird, with same extensions and same
setup in Fedora 10/11 or Windows works OK.

FYI, the main characters specific to Romanian language are (Unicode
UTF-8): 0218, 0219, 021A, 021B. „Terminal” font is usually used on
Romanian-configured systems, for both X11 and console.


Best regards,
Răzvan
