RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 449299

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

I think it will be more simple if write a new mail, a new tab is created, not a new window.

First, I don't understand why we need a new window if we have a tabbed program.
Second, sometimes I get confused. Since new mail are new window, I close them as window. But when I read a received mail, it's opened in a tab. But I get confused and do as for writing message, so I close the entire application.

Yes, I'm dumb... anyway, I think really that a tabbed program should use tabs as much as possible, and I don't see a reason why new messages should be opened in a new window.

Cheers.

Well, since I can't comment the original bug (very bad), I write here that I offered $15 via FreedomSponsors: https://freedomsponsors.org/issue/119
Now the total offer is $265. Not much, but better than a kick in the a$$ :)

Please people, follow my example and offer some bucks to get it fixed!
