I an not saying that we wont but this is something that can not be decided at this time since Thunderbird-3.0 is not yet a stable release,
Until its stable and in official repos there is nothing we can do,You can test Thunderbird-3.0 from the following repos(1). I warn you this is not a repo you want to use in /etc/apt/sources.list they are updated daily and not tested before hitting the PPA repos. My suggestion is to just download the .deb files from the repo and see if you can reproduce this problem. Once it is in Jaunty+1 we are than able to decide what is best. Introducing bugs into a LTS(2) is not acceptable, Adding 3.0 if stable or not doesn't mean bugs wont be introduced.

I am sorry this post is so long but i wanted to be able to answer your question as best as possible. Release after Jaunty will use the number of 9.10. Best thing to do is either email the mozillateam mailing list(3) Or ask in #ubuntu-mozillateam channel on IRC(4) (1) deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main (2) https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2009-January/000117.html (3) [email protected] (4) Server: irc.freenode.net Channel: #ubuntu-mozillateam -- Sincerely Yours, John Vivirito https://launchpad.net/~gnomefreak https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnVivirito Linux User# 414246 "How can i get lost, if i have no where to go" -- Metallica from Unforgiven III -- Thunderbird autosave popup window shows incorrect buttons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
