(Whiteboard: [PDT-])

In 4.x, I use mail in 2-pane mode with only the folder and thread panes showing. 
I double-click on the message and have it appear in a new window. I can't stand 
the 3-pane way as it doesn't give me enough space or allow me to read multiple 
messages at once. It appears, though, that this is the only way you can use mail 
right now.

- launch mozilla, open inbox window.
- collapse the message pane by clicking on the slider
- dbl-click a message in the thread pane

expected results:
- as in 4.x this should open up a new window with the message in it

actual:
- nothing happens. mail is useless like this.

Any chance this can be fixed for beta?
For me, this is mail dogfood.

Putting on PDT- radar for beta1.  Actually a feature bug (per phil) that is not 
scheduled for beta.

I don't think this is a dupe though... the bug we marked it dupe for was for
standalone message window, which is slightly different

Talked to alecf. We now agree this is a dup.

ok, verify once again.

If anyone cares, bug 6567 covers having multiple mail (3-pane) windows open;
this bug probably should have been duped to that one instead of 10875.
No, I don't think that's right. Mike's asking for double-click in the thread 
pane to open a standalone message pane. That's 10875.
