Something strange has been annoying me for ages in Thunderbird: when double-clicking on a message of my Inbox, a new window did indeed open as expected, but instead of heaving a simple window displaying the mail, I got a compose window, with my default address in the “From:” field, the original addressee of the mail (usually me) in the “To:” field, and the message as body…:grr:

This would not have been too bad if, when closing the window, that damned dialog box asking “Do you want to save the message” didn’t appear!!!

So tonight I seriously looked at the problem, and found the oddness that caused me so much frustration: if the folder “Inbox” is selected as folder to store the Drafts or the Templates (in the Properties -> Copies & Folders setting pane), such a stupid phenomenon will occur.

So I selected the folders “Drafts” and “Templates” to respectively store my drafts and my templates (I know, this is the default setting… :?), and that simply solved my problem! 😀

[EDITION]
:dead: That only solved my problem until the next time I started Thunderbird…I’m getting sick of it! 🙁
