[ale] OT Thunderbird

[Jim Lynch]

I've looked at the Mozilla site and didn't find any know problems, but 
when I start up thrunderbird it asks me if I want to work online or 
offline with a message that says if I want to work offline I can go 
online via the file menu. 

I don't see an option in the file menu, but then I always work online.  
I've got dsl and the option "direct connect" is set in the advanced 
section of the options.

This is a Win98SE system. 

How to I get rid of that message?  I'm running 0.9 which seems to be the 
recommended one.

Thanks,
Jim.
