The message pane.

I know the correct notation from looking into the source. Happens
frequently when chasing a bug or generating a private patch.

Here is a screenshot of my whole MailNews.

The green in the thread pane indicates messages which are a reply of one
of my own messages.

OK.

Hm? How can a message be selected in the folder pane? There are only
accounts and groups.

Currently I'm using
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/2017121703 SeaMonkey/2.56a1-h

Your
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101
 Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.1
is seven generations older. A lot has happened in this time.

Apropos bugs, there seems to be a new one in my new SM from today. The
automatic switching of the dictionary to English did not work when I
entered mozilla.mozilla.support.seamonkey. I had to do that manually.
Annoying.

On the other hand, it is also annoying to chase a bug. Hm.
