Using similar instructions. I added the ppa into synaptic, and then did 
the apt-get update/install thunderird

I then got TB 3.0.4 (final).

Associations = the different functions for using non-email content; such 
as HTML RSS feeds, .jpg images for downloads, etc.

TB normally allows you to use it by going into Preferences -> 
Attachments, and then selecting the programs to use for each file type.

Unfortunately, not only is the file type list blank, there's no options 
to add to it, and TB isn't doing as it's supposed to with unrecognised 
file types.

Any clues where the attachment association might be? As in as a list or 
file that I can edit manually?
