278813 - warning before exit (quit) in mail windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 39057

when in a mail windows (by double-click on a mail, or right-click + open in new
window), the File menu proposes the option to Quit. I've already several times
quit when I only wanted to close this window. As I guess we (almost) never need
to Quit from this kind of window, it would be better either to ask for a
confirmation or event disable the Quit from that menu.

Reproducible: Always

The only real problem with closing all windows in response to File|Exit is loss 
of data.  (There is a known problem with Thunderbird closing a message-compose 
window without asking for confirmation; and see bug 182417.)

Note that the File menu also provides a Close item, which closes only the 
current window.  This is very common in Windows applications, and probably 
elsewhere.

I suspect this bug will be WontFix'd.
