User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_2; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Safari/525.18
Build Identifier: 3.0a1pre

When a message is opened in a tab, Reply, Reply to All, Forward, etc. are grayed out both in the toolbar and in the Message pull-down menu. The user should be able to use these functions to reply to (or forward) the open message from the tab.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on a message title, pick Open Message in a New Tab
2. The message is now open in that tab.
3. Reply etc. are now impossible except by returning to the main message window.


Expected Results:  
Reply etc. should not be grayed out and should function normally.
Summary: no reply function from tabbed message → no reply function from tabbed message in Shredder
Update:  I just discovered that there is a difference between messages still on my IMAP server, which show the behavior indicated above, and messages filed in local folders, which do not.
Confirmed on linux/trunk.

Is this still valid? I'm unable to reproduce with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-IN; rv:1.9.1b5pre) Gecko/20090516 Shredder/3.0b3pre.
WFM on linux too.
