OK, I have subscribed here, and will respond here.

I think it is "any distribution" specific. Here it is in Archlinux:
$ which thunderbird
/opt/mozilla/bin/thunderbird
$ locate thunderbird-bin
/opt/mozilla/lib/thunderbird-1.5/thunderbird-bin

"thunderbird-bin" is not in the $PATH, and is not supposed to be called
directly from command-line - only by "thunderbird" script, which sets
all necessary environment variables. I suppose "thunderbird" would be
the correct name.
Here is the result:

$ PATH="$PATH:/opt/mozilla/lib/thunderbird-1.5" beagle-search
/opt/mozilla/lib/thunderbird-1.5/thunderbird-bin: error while loading
shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

I had to reverse this change - "thunderbird" works for me.

When I write "works", I mean it opens correct email when clicked on
attachment or email, but only when there was no running thunderbird
process before. When it is running (and I have it always running), it
does not open the requested email.
I thing 'thunderbird -remote "openUrl(...)"' should work in this case,
but for some reason it does not work for me, even from command-line, so
it is a problem with local installation of thunderbird in my case.

And this is the reason why I originally wrote that it I couldn't open
any mails/attachments.

There is nothing about thunderbird's imap in my logs:

(I am not using kmail).
I think this would be relevant:

I am using it now (except for change of "thunderbird-bin" back to
"thunderbird")
