Greetings! I am loving the new TB 91.2.1 and have most of it working to perfection. Furthermore I recently installed the Thunderbird-Conversations add-on that works great and makes going through email clutter a lot easier. However I have noted since I installed this add-on (Though, I am no longer sure if this problem started happening only after the installation of this add-on), double-clicking on a message in the list does not open the message in a new window as it used to do. I did some web research and found out about config setting for mail.openMessageBehavior - setting it to 0 does not seem to do anything, setting it to 2 however does open the message in a new tab (so double-click event does get processed as some of the web links were about double-click event itself). I found a couple of other settings - openMessageBehaviorVersion and a boolean setting with the same name - openMessageBehavior? But I do not know what these are for and what these should be set to.

Appreciate any tips/help on this front. - Thank you!!!

The settings for opening messages are in Preferences/General/Reading & Display. But the Conversations add-on might conflict with those settings.
