542005 - Allow option to show message in virtual folder in its original folder context

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, enhancement)

Description

[Kent James (:rkent)]

An issue that I sometimes have is that I have flagged a message for attention (for exampler with a star) and then review flagged messages in a virtual folder. When I want to operate later on that message, there is no easy way to get back to the original folder that shows the message in context in its folder, including any possible replies. It would be nice to have a thread tree context menu, enabled for virtual folders, to "Open tab showing message in context" that would simply open the original folder that the message was in, threaded, with the message highlighted. Of course opening a conversation view, if it existed, would be even better.
