Hello, I've just been going through my open bugs, trying to reproduce each of the problems to verify that they still exist in current versions. I'm now using thunderbird package version 1.5.0.4-3. I've turned proxies back on and tried a variety of requests from RSS feeds, and I cannot reproduce the bug at all.
Based on this, I can only assume that whatever was causing the problem has been fixed somewhere between 1.0.6-3 and 1.5.0.4-3. I'm not sure what the policy on these kinds of fixed without known causes is, but I'd certainly be happy if you wanted to close this bug. Alternatively, if there is anything you'd like me to do to try to verify this problems, do let me know. All the best, -Dave.
