    Sorry for the mail with those overly long lines, seems Thunderbird does
    not behave as it used to (or I did something stupid) :-/

    I'll guess I'll switch to "considered too complex"

    Went with:

    If it is, report it like you would report a problem in mainline

    Many thanks for looking at it, much appreciated!
