Normally, I do not use the "Message Pane" view in thunderbird. After reading your message, I decided to see if using "Message Pane" changed anything. Actually, it did. When I open an email from beagle-search and thunderbird is not already running, thunderbird starts up and the proper email is displayed in the "Message Pane". If thunderbird is already running at the time, it seems a second instance of thunderbird is started and then shuts down immediately. The main thunderbird window (of the first instance) is brought to the top but the message pane shows the message I was currently reading in thunderbird, not the one I opened from beagle-search. Weird, no? Rick -- Rick's Law - What cannot be imagined will be accomplished by a fool.
