302241 - Feature Request: Close message upon delete, rather than opening next message

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 274628

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

If I am reading a message in a seperate window and click "Delete", the next
message is loaded in the window. Please add an option to prevent this behaviour,
i.e. Clicking "Delete" would close and delete the message, and return the user
to the Inbox. Outlook has this feature, for reference.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double-click a message so that it opens in a separate window.
2. Click the "Delete" icon.
3. The message will be deleted and the next message will repace it.

Actual Results:  
The message was deleted and replaced with the next message.

Expected Results:  
I would like a feature that would simply close the message upon deletion,
returning me to the inbox.

This would make me so happy.
