(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Imagine you got two emails with the same subject. You double-click on the first one, it opens a standalone window. When you double-click on the other email, you expect another standalone window to be open. But the already-opened-standalone-window is reused instead.
I guess this is used not to open too many windows for the same email ; in that case, maybe we could use the reception order id (or another unique id) to determine which email we are opening.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double-click on one email
2. Double-click on another email, with the exact same subject
3.
Actual Results:  
The same standalone window is reused instead of opening a new one.

Expected Results:  
Two differents windows should be opened for two different emails.
