There is a ticket in bugzilla against Thunderbird for exactly this, and it
has recently been fixed. It's in the 1.8 trunk, however, so you won't see
it soon. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45715

There is a Thunderbird extension that does this. See

For Thunderbird, I recommend the calendar extension

If you haven't guessed, I like Thunderbird. I've used KMail and been
impressed, but not enough to switch. The main reason is that the XPI
extensions for the Mozilla family make for a variety of customization
options that KMail can't match.
