deleting opened email opens next email

Binary package hint: thunderbird

I do not use the message pane in Thunderbird since I want to control what emails I open and when.

I click on an email and it opens in new window so I may read it. Okay so far.
I delete this just read email and it drops into the trash .. this is okay too
BUT in its place the window opens the next email in my queue.. this is NOT okay.

I have not been able to find GUI way to drop back to main Thunderbird window after deleting a just read/opened email.
Can this be done by modding some config file somewhere?

Running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Thunderbird 2.0.0.18
Results of apt-cache policy thunderbird

Managed to fall into the Ogden brook - in fact went in without the
slightest difficulty, amid applause from the bank; discovered from my
involuntary plunge that the water is just as wet as last year, and if
memory serves, a trifle colder. Reached home in the evening, cold, wet,
tired and hungry. Nevertheless, had a most glorious time. - A. Nelson
Cheney, 1878

Upstream bug is closed, this should work in Thunderbird 3 (on Ubuntu 10.04).
