NOTE:
Selecting a mail message to read normally launches the Reading window. However, if the Reading window is already displayed, selecting a different message to read replaces the message currently in the Reading window.

You can have multiple Reading windows open simultaneously by clicking on the pushpin in the upper right-hand corner of the window to pin the current window to the screen. Then open a new Reading window. Each time you open a new Reading window, you can "pin" it, in turn, to the screen.

You can also drag-and-drop a mail message into a Reading window by placing the mouse pointer on the message and pressing-and-holding the center mouse button. When an icon for the message appears, drag the icon to the Reading window and release the middle mouse button.

See the chapter entitled Reading Window for more information about reading messages in Ishmail.
