Thunderbird bz 579023 still not fixed even though there is an upstream fix available

[Martin Stransky]

Hi,

we're patching mozilla packages only for really critical issues because
of mozilla trademarks. We can't put any patch we want to the mozilla 
package and ship it as 'Firefox' or 'Thunderbird'.

I've asked for inclusion at upstream bug, 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=550455, if you want to 
speed up the process you can reply there too.
