<p>Indeed, there is a sizable set 32-bit Windows users. The following is likely a fair estimate of our WINDOWS user population via crash statistics. The numbers are percentage of users, and virtual memory size of the Thunderbird process.

<p>Would it be possible to pack both the 32-bit and 64-bit binaries into the installer, and automatically install the correct ones for the platform? Alternatively, maybe use an online installer like Firefox does that grabs the correct installer for the system?</p>
