Double-clicking a mail msg saved in drafts should open it in edit mode.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start typing a new mail.
2. Close the mail without sending it. (want to send it later on)
3. When asked to save it or not, choose 'Save'.
4. Go to your draft mail folder and find the mail you just saved.
5. Double-click on it.
Actual Results:  
The mail msg is opened in view mode.

Expected Results:  
The msg should open in edit mode, so one can send it right away (or edit and then send).

Draft mail is usually mail you stopped editing for some reason and wish to edit and at some later point (or perhaps auto-saved before a crash). The double-click action or keyboard ENTER/RETURN should default in edit, not view. If people thing otherwise and do have a legit reason for wanting this to stay the way it is, there should at least be an option controlling this behavior.

Thank you in advance for looking into this.

PS: Marking this as a minor thing, since one can always right-click -> choose 'Edit as new' or click on the 'This is a draft msg [Edit...]' button if they have their msg pane visible (F8).

Double-click on a saved draft works for me.

You might check your Account settings  >> Copies & Folders to see how they are set for drafts.

The settings you refer to are as to where drafts are saved. I am talking about default double-click action for draft mail and not their folder settings.

Nevertheless, I checked it on a fresh 3.0b2 setup and it does work as it is supposed to. I am using the latest 3.1a1pre nightlies and also have some 70-75 extensions installed, so it could be the build or one of these extensions. Will check it further and let you people know.

Thanks for the hint btw.

Ok people, I've disabled all of my extensions and issue was not occurring any more. I then re-enabled them one or two at a time restarting tb at each step and it seems to be resolved now.

Too bad I wasn't able to detect which extension was causing it during the process.
