Wasn't this supposed to be taken care of in 8.04?

Ah, I might have found the difference between your computer and mine in
a reply here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/9224/">http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/9224/</a>
Do you have the package "ntfs-config" installed? If no, do that. Then go
to menu Applications > System Tools, and start NTFS Configuration Tool.
Check "Write Support" (you want that anyway for Thunderbird).

Of what use is "ntfs-config"
in 8.04? Once a partition is mounted it can be written to so long as
the user has write privilege. I'm pretty sure that "ntfs-config" is
no longer useful.<br>
Am I wrong?<br>

Do they mount automatically (at least on login) now? Maybe even on boot?
Because my internal NTFS partitions are put into fstab, with lines like
this:
# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=BE78C8C778C87F9F /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0\
1
# Entry for /dev/sda5 :
UUID=3C38FEDA38FE91DE /media/sda5 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0\
1
(Your UUIDs will be different, of course)
