Mozilla released an update for Thunderbird yesterday. Several security fixes and stability patches, it says in the release notes.
The usual Help -> Check for Updates drill should handle things in Mozilla's usual smooth way.
On a related note, I just heard from Lou, who has a new machine that runs MS Vista. He says Vista can't run Outlook, his preferred email client (for reasons passing understanding), not to mention most of his old Office suite.
Imagine that.
Five years in development, a steep price tag, heinous hardware requirements -- a GIG of RAM just to run an operating system? -- and the new Windows can't even run Microsoft's own existing software.
Costs lots to get moving? And the result of the investment is a garish appearance that doesn't perform that well? Vista is the Paris Hilton of operating systems.

Just a little more snark: This from a couple of weeks ago, via PC Advisor:
Popular Windows software that is conspicuously missing from Microsoft's list [of applications guaranteed to run under Vista] includes Adobe's entire line of graphics and multimedia software, Symantec's security products, as well as Mozilla’s Firefox web browser, Skype's voice-over-IP software and the OpenOffice.org alternative to Microsoft Office.
Monopolistic behavior? What monopolistic behavior?
