What do you mean by "open". Open in new window, or just in the message pane?
Both ways seem wfm for me though.

I never use the message pane as any virus in a message would be transferred to the computer by the message pane. I recommend that you advise your users of this and have the message pane turned off as the default setting! 

I open messages by double clicking on them in the list.
If you delete the message (or move it) the place in the list is lost.

If you simply close the window then the place is retained.

OT but a virus being "transferred to the computer" is hardly affected by if you read the message in the message pane or in the standalone window.

If it is not shown in the message pane the user will have the ability to look at the subject and to delete it without getting the virus.
Assuming of course that he has read elsewhere, the warnings published about the subject.

Kurt reopen if you still see the issue with current nightlies.

In Thunderbird version 2.0.0.21 (20090302)
The Bug still occurs.
Open a message in a window.
Delete the message.
The next message opens automatically.
Close that message
The cursor has jumped to the 1st message in the list.

If a message is opened manually (rather than automatically because the previous message has been deleted) and then closed the ursor returns to the position of the message which has just been closed.

Tried it with msg pane open in viewer and with opening the msg. In each case when the message was deleted the proper position in the message list was retained. It works for me on the nightly.
