524988 - Cannot view mail message when I use Search Message

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 524992

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[dta]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6; InfoPath.1; AskTB5.3)
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.23 (20090812)

When I use Search Messages and find what I need, I either double-click the specific message OR highlight it and click Open.  All I get is a blank white window with a yellow lightbulb and the word Done on the bottom bar.  Please advise.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click Search at my Inbox.
2. Put in my search criteria and find the specific message.
3. Click Open the message.
Actual Results:  
A blank window opens with Done on the bottom task bar of the message.

Expected Results:  
I had always been able to view the message I found through Search Messages until the last two Thunderbird updates.

The newer updated versions have disabled my being able to view messages opened through the Search Messages function.

Search  is being completely reworked - is you issue present in 3.0b4 ?

Rebuilding my indexes resolved my problem!

Thank you so very much.
