Steps to reproduce:

I searched for messages, to move relevant messages to a new folder.

Actual results:

ÞB insisted on opening a new tab without any list, and with all these messages in succession.

"Open email as list" allows yet another new tab with a list at the top. But that's a puzzling name for a function involving multiple emails.

Right-click > move to allows moving them to a specified folder, but that can require moving through several submenus, which can be a problem.

Expected results:

Perhaps "open emails with list"?

Perhaps the results should open in the same 3-pane view as the starting tab, or "open email as list"/"open emails with list" should open in the 3-pane view.

Summary: "Open email as list" is confusing → "Open email as list" coud be clearer

It's a good idea. This is covered in bug 1022228
