[plug] Thunderbird

[Brad Campbell]

G'day all,

Due to the nature of the country in which I live, I'm forced to use ssh forwarding to access any 
nntp servers. This is normally ok, but thunderbird won't let go of the tcp connection to the server 
once it is established and so I can't gracefully shut down my ssh session.

Does anyone know how to make thunderbird relinquish an nntp connection with out shutting it down?

Regards,
Brad
