Hello,

This feature request is certainly a bit strange, but I wonder if there is a way, in Thunderbird or TB Conversations options, to reverse the behavior of GMail view ?

To be clear, I'd like the exact contrary as it is by default :

- by default, when I click one time in a row on the TB right top panel, it displays in the right bottom panel all the conversation with Gmail view, with all the messages / replies related to the one I clicked.

If I double-click on a message, it opens a new tab with normal TB message view.

- What I'd like : exactly the contrary.

Single click on a message : see in the right bottom panel the mail as normal view in Thunderbird, with classic options and addons (like display mail user agent, quote colors etc...)

Double click on a message : opens in a new tab the Gmail view...

This Gmail view is very useful for mailing-lists or bug reporting, when you have a folder with lots of ML or bug comments, it's very nice to get the thread in one time, be able to read all the messages, archive or delete whole thread.

But generally I'm more used to work with classic TB view, as for my job there are often maximum 1 or 2 replies to a mail, so 3-4 messages in a very close time. And it is easier to have it on the same panel as folders, messages lists...

I hope it is possible to revert this behavior, thanks !
