Guilty INDEED ! I may filter all your mail into a folder named
[GuyWhoHasThePowerToKillThunderbird]
Should you be stoned ? scorned ? ostrichsized ?
NO !

Your punishment, Peter, for disseminating mail header that made me (and
how many others?) nutz for a week and forced me to weed trough my mboxes
with vi for an hour, your punishment is do clearly document the
phenomenon and file official bug reports with Mozilla.

So true, but Thunderbird does and it's up to you to redeem yourself 
[trumpets are heard over distant hills] GO FORTH,
Peter-of-the-poisoned-message-ID, and be known not only as
ThunderbirdSlayer [the clouds part, a shaft of golden sunlight beams
down] but take your place among the noble knights of the GTA-lug ! A
protector of those who don't really know how their MUA works, [birds
begin to twitter overhead, the animals emerge from the forest, blinking
with curiosity] but SMITE THIS VILE BUG with your MUA of pine ! [the
villagers gather at his feet, looking on with quiet adoration, Peter
seems 12 feet tall]  or we'll plonk ya !
