Occasionally in Mozilla 1.2.1 and now consistently with 1.3.0, when I open a

2.
3.

Actual Results:  
New window for message opens, but no text is visible.

Expected Results:  
New window for message open and message text visible in window.

why do you double-click it? Doesn't it display in the message-pane of the main
mailnews window when you single-click?

I don't have the message pane open.  I use the left pane for showing folders and
the right pane as a single pane to show the messages.  If I do show the right
pane as split between the message list and the message text, the message text
does show up.  I can do that for now.  However, I have to use the right menu
click to reply to your message when I am used to double-clicking the message and
replying from it in a full window. Since I have this alternate method, the
priority can be reduced from major to normal.
