Yes!

To be honest, I don't care. I would never use it that way. If I'm linking to something from OF, chances are I'm not already reading a message in mail. And in the few cases where I do want to keep the message I'm reading open, I would open that one first, because I'm already trained to work that way while working exclusively in mail.

The I thinking linking OF to the message in context, highlighting it (thus causing it do display in the preview pane) would be the most "seemless" workflow option. It would make OF feel more like an extension of mail, or vice versa.

Thanks again!
