Alex ARNAUD (as representative of the blind), what do you think about the following proposal? And Alex (:aleca)? Proposed fix: - For users who are deliberately *not* using tabs but want/need to see every message in a separate window using the pref (which probably improves access e.g. for the blind), we probably wouldn't help them much by stubbornly opening the pdf in a tab in 3-pane or even in the standalone message window. - I suggest that for users with the pref set to anything other than tabs (`Open messages in: A new message window` or `... An existing message window`), we should have a conditional which redirects the PDF viewing into a new window instead of a tab when "Preview in Thunderbird" is used. - So tab-centric users get PDF in a tab, and window-centric users get it in a window. Everyone happy, no extra prefs needed. Open a new Thunderbird browser window and load the PDF - doesn't sound very hard either wrt implementation.
