I'm running a Dell Dimension 4100 with Windows 2000 Professional.
Nvidia TNT/TNT2 type graphics card.
I upgraded the driver for the video card via the Windows upgrade process, but that didn't help.
Then went to the Nvidia site, downloaded the latest driver for my card.
Nvidia site tells you that you MUST unistall previous driver software before installing the new driver software. So I uninstalled 2 drivers (the old one and the new one that had been installed via the Windows Update process.) When uninstalling the second driver, the uninstall process gave me a box that told me I had to reboot (only an OK button, no "reboot later" button). I ignored that box and installed the new driver that I had downloaded from the Nvidia site (ForceWare 78.01 for TNT/TNT2). After it installed, I rebooted.
Problem solved!

I have a rather old Compaq PC with a legacy NVidia Vanta graphics card. Can't seem to find any more recent driver thatn I already have, and it's impossible to locate on the NVidia site. Yet, the problem with the scrambled messages on my Thunderbird 2 remains.
What should I do?
Will Mozilla make this an issue to solve themselves? To me it seems like too big a bug to ignore or to blame on other manufacturers.

Thunderbird does not use Java. (It uses JavaScript, which is not related.)
I read that the problem is caused by gradient fills in the default theme. Using some other theme can fix it.
There is a formal bug report, and you can read the developers' discussion: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352694
