Ha! :-)

There are no Thunderbird binaries for the released version packaged for 
64 bits OSes and some people (e.g., me) do not like messing/bloating 
their systems with 32-bits compat libraries.

And Thunderbird is the first package it came up to my mind without 
struggling my brain, there still has to be many others...
