I am also running testing.  The version in testing is 0.3.  I
personally would strongly suggest that you keep your distribution unmixed
and use 0.3, upgrading when 0.4 makes it to testing.  As Colin Watson
pointed out, mixing distributions can be confusing, and it adds a
level of complication to system admin.  IMHO, it's just not worth mixing
stuff up just for a minor release.

You could have used apt-cache to discover the version:

$ apt-cache show mozilla-thunderbird
Package: mozilla-thunderbird
Priority: optional
Section: mail
Installed-Size: 33044
Maintainer: Alexander Sack <asac@jwsdot.com>
Architecture: i386
Version: 0.3-6
