How do I stop Firefox from archiving conversations after I send a message to someone?

When someone sends me an email and I reply, the conversation automatically goes to the archive. I can retrieve it by clicking on the 'undo archive' link, but I want it to stop archiving things in the first place. It seems to do it no matter who the conversation is with, meaning it's not restricted to personal emails from Gmail or Yahoo or any particular company I'm doing business with. It's been happening for a few months. I do not remember changing the archive setting and I cannot find any way to access the archive setting. Thanks for your help.
