    You can't be running TB 3.0b3 with lightning and enigmail, right?  I
    don't think those plugins work in that version...at least I wasn't able
    to install them...with any of the 3.0 betas.

When I originally installed F11 I then also installed the two
additional packages from the Fedora updates via yum - since then I
have just updated as normal and the packages remain in place.

Lightning is installed with:
yum install thunderbird-lightning which is in updates
and enigmail via:
yum install thunderbird-enigmail and this is in rpmfusion

I know that the latter is not strictly directly supported by Fedora -
but that was why I asked the question - if others are seeing this
issue but who have not installed the latter then this implies there is
a problem with thunderbird itself but I don't know the answer to this
yet?
