And thanks not only to you, but to Bernt Hansson too! Anyway, during this time I have investigated a lot the problem and discovered that, indeed, it was my fault! :-) Some time ago, I "just changed" the root's default umask from 022 to 027 and I forgot to change it back to 022 before to re-install thunderbird! The result was a "faulty" installation,... I did not notice immediately the problem because I am a member of the wheel group and (for my user account) there were no problems! So, I just replaced the "correct" umask value and re-installed thunderbird,... all is OK now! Thanks again to all you and kind regards! Mauro.
