Trying to open a standalone message window from the header pane is resulting in
an empty window. It's titled Mail and Newsgroups. Full menu and buttonbar, but
no content or header details. Leaving the window open and trying again displays
the contents. THIS APPEARS TO BE A REGRESSION, first reported in Bug 107010. The
bug was resolved as Works For Me, but has recurred in the 15 January nightly.

JavaScript Console reports these two errors for each first attempt:
- Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]"  nsresult:
"0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://messenger/content/msgHdrViewOverlay.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 60" 
data: no]
- Error: gCollapsedHeaderView has no properties
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/msgHdrViewOverlay.js
Line: 170

The second time through, the errors do not occur.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mail and News
2. Open a mail item for a new window
3. Leave the window open and return to Mail and News
4. Open the item again

Actual Results:  
Message contents only appear after Step 4.

Expected Results:  
Message contents should appear after Step 2.

Looks like this was related to Bug 106461 -- renaming (or removing the messed-up
data from) abook.mab corrected. Marking this bug as Fixed.
