This the page where I will document my results of doing the Thunderbird_Bug_Fix_Lab

Filing a bug
First I had to create a bug over on landfill - explaining the issue
The gist is that anything that has characters@...Someothercharacters turns into a mailto: link in Thunderbird and this was annoying Dave so the whole class jumped to fix it.
Fixing the problem
Dowloaded and built a copy of Thunderbird's trunk on my MacBook and then navigated over to mozTXTToHTMLConv.cpp in order to alter some code which checks for a '.' after the @ symbol but does not also check that there is not a ".." in that string.
This is a one-line fix but I was having some trouble getting my code changes to show up. Funny story, this happened to me in class too and both times it was because I forgot a ) in the code.
