I had the can't open reply dialog, but the problem has disappeared.  I 
rather suspect it was something to do with doing a yum update while 
keeping thunderbird open: when the old running thunderbird reached out 
to some plugin-type shared lib that had been updated in the meanwhile 
and is not always in use, it experienced difficulty.  But it could 
fundamentally keep going because of the old set of executables was still 
in memory.

Assuming you didn't reboot or try it in the meanwhile, might be worth 
closing thunderbird and verifying with ps -Af or your favourite set of 
switches that thunderbird-bin is not 'go', then restarting.
