catgate Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 This morning I received (or appeared to receive) an email with no sender, no subject and no content. It was dated 01/01/70 and was timed at 01.00. I deleted it without trying to open it, as I did with the second that appeared the next time I opened Thunderbird. The third went the same way. I opened the fourth....empty.It seems as though every time I open Thunderbird, or switch back to my inbox after deleting the last one, I get another one of these things (whatever it is) from somewhere. It has a little green ball just to the left of the sender's name space. (sort by read column).Has anyone any thoughts on this? Are they being generated here or is there an everlasting supply of them in the wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Can't help, but I use Thunderbird and didn't get one, who should I complain to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 My Thunderbird (2.0.0.21 (20090302)) is also missing its fair share of these goodies :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 My Thunderbird (2.0.0.21 (20090302)) is also missing its fair share of these goodies :)Mine is "version 2.0.0.21 (20090318)". Is it perhaps the 2009318 that is the culprit?? :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I feel you may have to come and get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Mine is 20090302 so you have something different, I checked for updates and there wasn't any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Mine is 20090302 so you have something different, I checked for updates and there wasn't anyMine came through the normal Ubuntu update system.There was an update package this morning and quite a big one, but I do not remember seeing anything "Thunderbird" amongst them. Though to be fair I have found the updating to be impeccable so far, and I usually just have a quick glance and then hit the OK button.

rong Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 So your numbering difference is probably to do with Linux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 So your numbering difference is probably to do with LinuxVery probably, but I'm not sure if that is significant or not.I have just looked at what is listed in the Synaptic Package Manager as the version I have installed and it says:-"thunderbird 2.0.0.21+nobinonly".Now that certainly make a chap think...but answers no questions.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Can you look at the headers of that mysterious message (Ctrl+U); it must have some IP address that shows where it came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Could it be that an acquaintance has been hacked and Hijacked, and their mail program is sending these out automatically? Just a thought. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
