Is there a way/ shortcut for you to open more than one message in multiple tabs?

I just want to know if there is a way to open multiple messages in multiple tabs? Instead of selecting one at a time for it to open a tab one at a time. I would like to select more than one message and then right click a command or press a control command button to open multiple tabs.

It would decrease my time trying to catch up on some of my feeds that can post a couple messages per day.

I hope to get my question answered. I did look at the help area and none of them really answered my question. I did have a news feed aggregator before that did this, but it became unsupported.

Please let me know if you don't understand what I'm trying to say, as well. Thank you in advance!

Hi Airmail,

I just want to say thank you so much for the fast response! What you said definitely worked! I'm glad there is such an option on Thunderbird. I wish it was listed in their Content Help...

Or maybe I just missed it.

Anyway, thank you and have a nice weekend!

I would be quicker to just explore the menu system. If there is a shortcut it is listed by the command in the menu.

That's true! I see it sorta now in the menu system. I just sorta get perplexed or need it to be guided to me with me on certain things, because I'm still sorta new to the platform and have to somehow manage doing multiple things at once.

Anyway, sorry for my further comments. I want to say 'Thank You', again. I really appreciate it!
