User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

When I start up Thunderbird offline to read previously-downloaded mail, after
about 1-2 minutes I'm prompted to enter the Master Password. This happens even
though I'm reading only plain-text mail messages, and not doing anything that
should cause passwords saved in Password Manager to be needed for any reason.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start TB with command line option "-offline".
2. Go to any existing mail folder and spend at least 2 minutes reading messages
it contains.
Actual Results:
I'm prompted for the Master Password.

Expected Results:
I should never be asked for the Master Password unless I go online, or attempt
to View Saved Passwords or Change Master Password from the Tools -> Options menu.

I do use Password Manager to store the login passwords for mail and news
servers, which is why I wouldn't object to being asked if I were online.
