I am not sure why it is doing that.  Please, do not take offense but 
have you checked
to make sure you did not make any typographical mistakes.
Another point to consider is that /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla is probably not 
the actual mozilla
binary but rather a shell script to start the browser.  Maybe you can 
find out what the actual
binary is called.  It is probably similar to mozilla-bin, moz-bin, etc.  
Actually it will be mentioned
in the script but beware though that calling it directly may not work.

(Aside:  I thought the mozilla-suite built in email program was 
essentially thunderbird?
I hope I was correct when I assumed you were using mozilla and not firefox?)

As I don't have mozilla installed I am not sure how much more useful I 
can be to you, sorry.
Maybe someone from the list with mozilla and thunderbird installed can help?
