if I cancel when sending, the addressing widgets and the subject text are disabled.

I am sure that this was fixed but if you can reproduce it can you give the steps?

I see this regularly on linux, including in today's trunk. No special steps required to reproduce.

I'm getting this problem too when cancelling a send. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

taking all of varada's bugs.

The dupe notes that this symptom also occurs when a save of a Draft (to an IMAP folder) is cancelled.

I don't know whether, when this bug was filed, the preference to turn off the progress dialog (mailnews.show_send_progress) had been implemented. I'm assuming this bug was filed *with* a progress dialog, clicking Cancel. Bug 129290, potentially a dupe of this, suggest that the exact behavior depends on when exactly the send is canceled. I don't see the stated symptoms in that case. I do, however, see a similar symptom in Thunderbird 2a1/3a1 if I've: turned off the progress dialog, clicked the [X] button in the window, and clicked Quit. However, the original compose window is closed in this case; it's a new compose window that gets displayed, with these fields disabled as described. See bug 320180 comment 2.

Saw this in SM with progress dialog (mailnews.show_send_progress) false (with true, afaict is WFM). Start sending very large message, click close X before finished sending, click quit, can't access To: field. But I couldn't replicate after my first attempt.

Wayne, what is address widgets anyway? I don't see any disabled controls on trunk. version 3.0a2pre (2008062703)

Nope, I've seen this on early builds only. Right now when I press send it does blocks subj and to fields but after cancel unlocks them. Miss your comment about setting mailnews.show_send_progress=FALSE it behave exactly as you say, blocks fields.
