sounds strange. What about that error with recent versions? Can you
please recheck that bahaviour?
What mail server you are working with?

If you need some help in debugging there hopefully some useful info in
the wiki [1].
I think this is no Debian specific problem so maybe there is a already
open bug in the Mozilla Bugzilla [2]. If you find a opened bug for that
(or you are willing open up a new bug) please provide the URI to it so
we can link this together.
