Look in /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0/dictionaries and you will see how/why
these appear.

To prevent them from appearing you could delete or move the links you
don't want.  For example, deleting en_AG.aff and en_AG.dic will result
in English/Antigua and Barbuda being removed from the list.

Be advised that this may only be temporary as the next update to
thunderbird will most likely restore the links.
