1774177 - Open message in containing folder does not work from messageDisplay windows

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[max]

Steps to reproduce:

It is impossible to go from a message window to containing folder even in Thunderbird-103.0a1

• Open some message in new window (messageDisplay)
• Click on "Open message in containing folder" context menu.

Actual results:

Nothing besides an error in console

Uncaught ReferenceError: OpenContainingFolder is not defined
    oncommand chrome://messenger/content/messageWindow.xhtml:1
messageWindow.xhtml:1:1
    oncommand chrome://messenger/content/messageWindow.xhtml:1

Expected results:

The folder containing the message should be opened in some window.

I do not mind that 3 pane view appeared in the same window, but I am aware that it is hardly possible due to peculiarities with mail views and tabs in Thunderbird. So the folder should be opened either in a new window or in the last focused so called "normal" window (like e.g. settings).

Fix opening, and also prevent showing the menu item if it's a message opened from the file system.
