Opening an email with multiple emails in it opens multiple tabs - how to stop this?

When opening an email with previous email responses on it a seperate tab automatically opens for each previous email on that email. Before the update a few months ago only one tab would open when opening a new message and I want that system to continue. I cannot see how to do that.

I also prefer the previous option of unread emails in bold (showing on Inbox) rather than now underlined. Can I change that too?

Thank you

I am left guessing. Is it threading you are talking about? I think it might be! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/message-threading-thunderbird#

The bold/ Underline is certainly threading. This opening tabs however has me lost.

Thanks Matt it's not threading!

Let's assume I have emailed someone and we have gone back and forth say four times. Under the previous update if I opened this email it would open in one tab and have the four emails within it.

With the recent update when opening this email it will open four tabs each with the same history on it. I just want to stop four tabs opening and just have one.

I attach an example where one email, Euro vac, has opened eight tabs (it has eight emails within it) when I only want one tab to open.

Thanks
