Anthony,

I get four folders each named Mozilla-Thunderbird.  One has 39 items, 
the others 3,2, and 31 items respectively.  I've been through all of 
these and their sub-folders and can find nothing that resembles 
somethingrandom.default.

The prime suspect was the profile folder, but alas nothing familiar there.

Do you have any other thoughts on this?

Thanks again for all your help.

Maurice
