27Always check the mail/config/mozconfig file in the source tree for
28any changes to the options passed to configure. This file shows the
29default build used by Mozilla. BLFS adds to this, but the values here
30should be in our setup. The stuff about ActiveX can be ignored as
31that is Windows crap only.

253 <filename class='directory'>/usr/lib/thunderbird-&thunderbird-version;/defaults/profile</filename>,
254 it fixes a profile locking problem if the <command>thunderbird</command>
255 script is called when <application>Thunderbird</application> is already
256 running and last, makes it so that if a
257 <computeroutput>mailto:</computeroutput> URL is clicked, a message
