Build Identifier: 

When you open an email and an email is already opened, the window that is opened is the already opened email.  Trying to put that in English again.  It appears like double clicking opens the wrong email, byut actually it has brought to the front the open window of another email.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open email and view
2. open another email (you see the original email)
3.
Actual Results:  
closed both open emails and ensured that i only ever had one windows open.

Expected Results:  
should open another window with the contents of the second selected email

This is only in Shreader 3.0 PreBeta3 as of 2 days ago

Confirmed with 2009/6/21 build on MS Win-XP SP3.
> Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1pre) Gecko/20090621 Shredder/3.0b3pre

[Steps to reproduce]
(0) Preferences->Reading and Display, Open Messages in: An existing message window
(1) Open mail-1 in stand-alone window-1 via "Open Message in New Window"
(2) Open mail-2 in stand-alone window-2 via "Open Message in New Window"
(3-1) Click stand-alone window-1(becomes top layer window)
(3-2) Click mail-3 at thread pane(mail 3 is displayed in message pane)
(3-3) Double-Click mail-3
      => stand-alone window-1 gets focus. still mail-1 is displayed
(3-4) Double-Click mail-3 again => mail-3 is displayed in stand-alone window-1
(4-1) Click stand-alone window-2(becomes top layer window)
(4-2) Click mail-4 at thread pane(mail-4 is displayed in message pane)
(4-3) Double-Click mail-4
      => stand-alone window-2 gets focus. still mail-2 is displayed
(4-4) Double-Click mail-4 again => mail-4 is displayed in stand-alone window-2

If single stand-alone window, phenomenon at (3-3) or (4/3) looks "double-click of a mail displays previous mail".

Yes - I have open message in an existing mesage window - not sure why, might ahve changed with an update, since i didn't change it.  But yes WADA is correct.

Could you try this with the latest nightly (June 29)? This might have been fixed by bug 467768 -- I can't reproduce the issue with the STR in comment 5.
