Test Coverage
Overview: smoketest all 3 major platforms. Alpha 1 did a partial BFT. So goal is to BFT all 3 platforms to get BFTs in better shape for beta testing. Divide BFT into pieces to reduce time required per person (IOW soo the full range of tests is accomplished, but not necessarily be a single OS). Check mozilla.feedback.thunderbird.prerelease and mozilla.feedback for additional result comments. [no comments have been found in there nor in m.support.thunderbird]
