683728 - Walking the references doesn't fully work (msgWindow.openFolder is null)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Karsten Düsterloh]

Steps to reproduce:
- set mailnews.messageid.openInNewWindow to true, so that clicking a reference will open a new standalone message window
- choose a message thread with at least three messages in one subthread, eg in a newsgroup
- open the last message of the subthread
- click its last reference: a new window opens with the message
- switch to this new window
- click its last reference: nothing happens, except an error on the Error Console:

Error: msgWindow.openFolder is null
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/mailContextMenus.js
Line: 516

This is because there is no folder pane in the standalone message window.
Using gDBView.msgFolder instead of msgWindow.openFolder should fix this.

(MXR suggests that Thunderbird is affected as well.)
