According to this page found via Google it's disabled by default: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Using_Gloda The page last update is listed as 7 March 2009. I'm not sure which version was current at that time. But obviously it was disabled by default at one point. That may have changed. I didn't see it in the 3.0.4 release notes. I may have manually enabled it long ago, not realizing the possible repercussions, and then forgot I enabled it. Like I said, I don't think I did, but it's possible. -- Stan
