Comment 145 for bug 10910

i am on ubuntu natty, with thunderbird 12 i run it on a terminal server with 20 users on it. Before that i utilized thinderbird 3 as long as i could. I had to adjust the parameters with that change, as they were a little different in version 3. I named the file "aa_paper.js", i have others in that directory too, like aa_proxy.js and aa_cache.js for variuous global settings. Files in that directory are processed in reversed sort order (at least that waas like this in version 3), therefore mine start with aa_ . File name must end with .js
When you test this, you should completely wipe or move the ~/.thunderbird folder to make sure that user settings do not interfere, because they would have preference over global settings.
hope that helps!
