[gui-talk] Thunderbird Question

[David Goldfield]

Dave,
Here's the setting which should fix this.
 From the main Thunderbird window, press alt t for tools.
Press o for the options dialog.
Press the dow arrow key until you land on the category labeled "display."
Press the tab key at this point.
Press the right arrow key to move to the "advanced" tab.
Press the tab key and look for "open messages in ..."
Arrow down for the choice "a new message window"

Press enter, which activates the "OK" button and closes the dialog.
