How compose a new message within a standard tab in the main window?

Hi everyone,

Why is it not possible in Mozilla Thunderbird to compose a new message within a standard tab in the main window?

Or is Thunderbird designed in such a way that the compose window always opens in a separate, standalone window? There is currently no option within the program's settings to change this behavior to use a tab instead.

Thanks!

Sorry, that cannot be done. I see suggestions for the ability to compose in a tab going back many years, so at this point I wouldn't expect it to happen. But if you'd like to chime in with that suggestion, it can be made here:
