Thunderbird hangs when trying to write message

[lance <lance@augustmail.com>]

Hey,

Using a Sarge/Sid hybrid.  I can read, delete, and move messages in 
Mozilla thunderbird 1.0.7 but when I try to write, reply, or forward the
application hangs and I have to use pkill to stop it.  

Anyone else had this problem and know the solution?
