Yes, that's a script. And a strange bug was actually in it. I've 
commented out some checks in it and now it works fine. So, thanks a lot 
for help.

No, Mozilla Suit's mail programm is named 'mozilla-mail'. It's heir by 
some shared code is Thunderbird (that's already explained yesterday). 
Thunderbird's feature of RSS-reading is the most necessary feature that 
caused me to use it (mozilla-mail can't read RSS-feeds). But as I 
understand, Thunderbird is mostly compat-ed to Firefox and some kind of 
moved away from Mozilla Suite project. That's why we have to do tricks 
to make these same-family projects do well together now.
