Good morning!

Previously, when viewing an article in an RSS feed, if I double-clicked the header in the article list, Thunderbird would open the article in a new window in the client. After one of the recent (~6 months) update, I get a blank page or possibly a thumbnail image of something (very small). I have to click the link to open the article in my browser.

Is there a setting somewhere that directs Tbird to open the web page in the client vs. not? I looked at the "Allow remote content in messages" setting but it doesn't seem to affect this situation.

Can someone please help me here?
