When the delete button is clicked for a mail message open in a tab, the tab "navigates" to the next message in the folder, rather than closing the tab as would be intuitive with the process of deletion, and somewhat defeating the tabbing metaphor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a message in a new tab.
2. Click the delete button for that message in the tab pane.
Actual Results:  
The tab navigates to the next message in the (no longer visible) folder from whence it came.

Expected Results:  
Intuitively, the tab should close and the last-focused tab should become foremost.
