Two pane setup; msgs open in an existing msg window. I get a bunch of new msgs & open the first msg. If I close that msg instead of deleting it, the next msg I open I can't delete because the Delete button on msg window is sometimes grayed out. If I close that msg & reopen it, the Delete button on msg window is active.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.get email
2.open first msg
3.close first msg
4.open second msg
5.go to delete it, but Delete button on msg window is grayed out
6.close second msg
7.reopen second msg, Delete button on msg window is active
Actual Results:  
Sometimes the msg window Delete button is grayed out on the second msg after closing the first.

Expected Results:  
The msg window Delete button should always be active.

This _looks_ to me a lot like a duplicate of bug 545675* -- if that's not so, please feel free to reopen this bug.

*assuming you have Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Reading & Display -> Open messages in: set to An existing message window.
