thanks for the info... 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/519 would be the 
addon link. Based on your info, I was checking out the sandbox myself, 
and you are right I dont get to my extension. I updated the new version 
today and i am completely unable to find it. seems there is a bug here 
on the addons page.
there seem to be a number of bugs like:
* paging doesnt work: 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/browse/type:1/cat:23/status:1?page=2
* altough the last version is from 21.july 2006 (based on the addons 
page), the listing page shows the even older version and date 1999!? 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/browse/type:1/cat:23?page=2

it is kinda weird... help!
