Why does File-Reply display next email in inbox

When replying to an email and selecting the target folder, I often want to save the original email in the same folder. So I check the "File also the original message ...." box. Both emails are saved to the target folder, however, Thunderbird then opens and displays the next email that was in the inbox. Personally I find this irritating, I prefer to open an email at my discretion. Is there an option to disable this "open next" function?
