Sorry, my fault, blame me, I was thinking of evince. He intended to make 
me believe this. The other problem is, I only pressed send once in 
thunderbird. You won't believe me, but I don't know, why this mails were 
send while I was writing them. The window never closed. Probably 
somebody used sendmail or so on. Nevermind. Take it as test.

Bye and sorry for the other mistake.
