Description Stephen Torri 2004-06-30 13:52:19 UTC 
When I click on Address Book I get the window for the addresses I should have in my personal book. Nothing is shown. I went to .thunderbird/default/pi93bvyb.slt and found an abook.mab file.

-rw-r--r--  1 storri users   27186 Jun 30 15:12 abook.mab

Upon looking at it more closely I was able to find a entry for myself:

bash-2.05b$ grep storri abook.mab
    =Stephen)(FE=Stephen Torri)(F0=storri@cs.wustl.edu)(FF=40d4a142)

So I know it should at least show myself as an address in the book. Yet the main display of the address book is blank and a search via the search utility shows nothing.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Thunderbird
2. Click on Address Book

Comment 1 Stephen Torri 2004-06-30 14:05:15 UTC 
Try to trace the behaviour of thunderbird using strace for another bug I reported. The result of using strace in the shell script /usr/bin/thunderbird resulted in the address being loaded. Don't ask me how in the heck that happened. All I feel is that the present behaviour of thunderbird does not appear to be rational.

Thunderbird 1.0 works fine. I am closing this bug.
