Allow a new Compose Message window to show up in a Thunderbird tab or a free floating window.

I have a suggestion for Thunderbird. It would be nice to have Thunderbird allow a new Compose Message window to show up in a Thunderbird tab instead of a free floating window as it does now. I would make this a user configurable item in perhaps Preferences, where the user can select whether he/she wants to have each new Compose Message window be a free floating window or a Thunderbird tab. Thanks for considering this.

Hey PT, Thunderbird Product Manager here!

This work is actually planned for the 2023 release, so expect to see it in the near-ish future!

Thanks for the feedback, this reassures me that we are going the right direction!

Can wait. This will make it so much easier than moving down the screen to click on a Taskbar multi-icon just to bring back the Write/Compose window (Win11).

This is no longer in the plan for the next release, version 115 in July.

It will be discussed for future releases, but there is not yet a plan.
