Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 274628

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, enhancement)

Description

[Dave Koberstein]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Eudora version 8.0b8: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20091214 Eudora/3.0b4

This is a feature request based on how Eudora classic works: offer an option: When viewing a message in a standalone message window and selecting delete, close the standalone message window and return focus to the mailbox list.  Highlight the next message in the mailbox.  (I suggest the highlighted message be the same as when one deletes a message from the mailbox list.)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) have several messages in mailbox
2) open one message in a standalone message window (not preview window)
3) delete message

Actual Results:  
next message in mailbox list is placed in the standalone message window

Expected Results:  
request (by option): close standalone message window and return focus to mailbox with next message highlighted.
