Messages in TB and tabs in FF.  I want to delete a lot of the mail I 
get, but I'd like some to NEVER be deleted.  Moving it elsewhere is 
undesirable.  For some inexplicable reason FF tabs delete themselves 
sometimes and I'd just as soon have that controllable.  "Pinning" just 
makes them invisible, which seems wrong on several levels.

FF does that drag-to-new-window thing too, which is miserably annoying. 
Who even wants such a thing?
