Thunderbird Suggestions

It would be more convenient to right click on a message and select "Create filter from message" than to click on the Message menu item.
It would be great to selectively display the "Message Pane" for each folder instead of globally for all folders. I want to turn it off for folders like Junk and Spam but display it for rest of the folders.

This is already possible, but might not be obvious. If you right click in the message header fields of the sender or receiver addresses, or in the subject line, you should have a context menu that includes "Create Filter From".

I don't understand this idea. Does "favorites", described at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-folder-pane-view, match what you want to do??

You are right, it is not obvious. But, I would have to open message to do that. I don't want to open it if it's spam or junk. I accidentally did that once and shortly after I was flooded with spam, over 300 in one day.

That link goes to a Page not Found.

The idea is, when I select the Junk or Spam folder, I don't want the Message Pane to display. If it's displayed, I could accidentally click on a message and it would display the display the email, which I don't want. So, what I have to do is turn off the Message Pane for all folders before I open the Junk or Spam folders. But I want the Message Pane displayed for other folders.

View > Layout > Message Pane - or F8 on Windows.

It is not possible to turn off the message pane on a single-folder basis.

this code does it:

(() => { document.getElementById("folderTree").addEventListener("select", ()=>{ if (gFolderDisplay.displayedFolder.name.toLowerCase() == "spam") { document.getElementById("threadpane-splitter").setAttribute("state","collapsed"); document.getElementById("messagepaneboxwrapper").setAttribute("collapsed",true); } else { document.getElementById("threadpane-splitter").setAttribute("state","open"); document.getElementById("messagepaneboxwrapper").removeAttribute("collapsed"); } }, true); })();
