Help request for TB3 vs SM2 -- tab mail fails

Help request for TB3 vs SM2

With TB3 this works :
var windowManager =
Components.classes['@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1']
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator);

var winId = windowManager.getMostRecentWindow("mail:3pane");
winId.focus();
winId.document.getElementById('tabmail').openTab("folder",
{folder: msgHdr.folder, msgHdr:msgHdr, messagePaneVisible:true } );

.. but NOT with SM2.
Error: tabMode is undefined
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/tabmail.xml
Line: 409

Tracing with Venkman shows the error is thrown with "winId.focus();" .

Any difference here for SM2 compared with TB3??

Note:
With Postbox 1.02 this works :
var windowManager =
Components.classes['@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1']
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator);
var winId = windowManager.getMostRecentWindow("mail:3pane");
winId.focus();
winId.MsgOpenNewTabForFolder(folderUri, msgHdr.messageKey /*key*/,
false /*aBackground*/)
}

Actually the error is on the next line where you call openTab

> Any difference here for SM2 compared with TB3??

I think you can use this:

winId.document.getElementById('tabmail')
.openTab("3pane", kTabModeFolder, aFolderURI, aMsgHdr);

Where:
const kTabShowFolderPane = 1 << 0;
const kTabShowMessagePane = 1 << 1;
const kTabShowThreadPane = 1 << 2;

const kTabModeFolder = kTabShowFolderPane | kTabShowThreadPane |
kTabShowMessagePane;

OK, works. Only if the messenger isn't opened before it is call, it will
fail.

The specific situation here is: ReminderFox on SM works for both parts,
the browser and the messenger.
So when we are working with the browser and try to open a message from
the reminderfox list this will fail.

For FX we have a call to TB/PB with a specific cmdline handler. Think
that should not be necessary with SM. But I need to 'activate' the
messenger part of SM somehow -- open the main messenger window (similar
to user press Cltr+2).

Any thoughts??

var windowManager =
Components.classes['@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1']
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator);

var winId = windowManager.getMostRecentWindow("mail:3pane");

if (winId)
{
winId.focus();
winId.document.getElementById('tabmail').openTab("3pane",
kTabModeFolder, aFolderURI, aMsgHdr);
}
else
{
winId = window.openDialog("chrome://messenger/content/", "",
"all,dialog=no");
winId.addEventListener("load", yourListener, false);
}

// Then in your listener you can do something like:

function yourListener(event)
{
// make sure that this handler is called only once
winId.removeEventListener("unload", yourListener, false);
