Build ID: 2001101003 on win32 The Go To Message Folder button (see bug 56419) behaves strangely when used to search newsgroup messages. For example, if I have the three-pane thread view open to, say, netscape.public.mozilla.general, and I Search Messages by subject, I eventually get a Results window with a list of matching results. If I select one message and click the Go To Message Folder button, it opens a brand new three-pane view, which promptly refreshes the new message counts from the server, and does nothing else. It also fails to display the message I had previously selected, but I think this aspect is covered in bug 103780. The expected behavior would be that the selected message appears highlighted in the Thread pane of the existing window, if any, and is displayed in the Message pane below (I apologize if I don't have the terminology exactly right). This was the behavior in Communicator 4.x.
adding cc, per request in n.p.m.mailnews.
Just some background info: 4.x doesn't open a new window regardless of the window settings pref; Go to Folder in 4.x goes to message in current mail window.

This is an annoyance for me too, but for mail. I want the 'Open Message Folder' to use an existing window if there is one with that folder already open; as per NS 4.X behaviour. Max.
nominating for next release

Shouldnt this bug have the 4xp keyword?
The spec (http://mozilla.org/mailnews/specs/search/) does not specify whether a new window should appear or an existing window. I would expect it to adhere to the Mail & News/Windows, preference setting: "When opening messages, display them in: - A new mesage window - An existing message window"
