661797 - Compose in tabs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 449299

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[David]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build Identifier: 5.0b1

I'm probably sure this request has already been sent but seriously, It's got to be done. I would like to compose my messages in a new tab instead of a new Window.  This will make thunderbird and the use of tabs much more significant.  For now, I don't even use the tabs since it's useless for me.  I see my message in the preview below and I answer from there but I really hate the fact that thunderbird opens a new Window for composing emails.  I think Thunderbird should advance with this new frontier and breakout in the e-mail client world.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Compose E-mail.


Expected Results:  
Open compose windows in a tab.
