Binary package hint: thunderbird

Thunderbird in Lucid does not respect the setting for sending emails when set to "ask me*" when going from offline>online
Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. Open Thunderbird
2. Go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Network & Disk Space under offline>configure offline settings click on "offline"
3. Under "Send unsent messages when going online" check "Ask me"
4. Restart Thunderbird
5 Click on the icon on the bottom left of Thunderbird window
6. Doesn't matter if you download messages or not
7. Write an email while offline
8. Send email still offline
9. Click on icon to return back to online
10. Notice it doesn't ask you if you want to send it.

When checking "Tools>Activity Manager" It does not show up as sending emails.

As i recall this happened with stable Thunderbird-3.0 version as well
