to K-9 Mail

Hello

One thing which annoyed me since I use k9mail is the handling of the notification: when I am in any App and a new mail arrives and k9mail throws a notification to the notification bar, if I immediately open that new mail notification and read it, then I expect to return to the very App from where I just opened the mail notification, when I exit k9mail with the back button.
But no, the back button goes up in the k9mail structure, to the k9mail main screen and then finally not to my previous running app in foreground but to the home screen.
I have to hit the previous App button now too find my app, if it is not closed by Android in the mean time.

I mentioned this once as bug in the GitHub issue tracker but the developer says it is by intention, Android developing guide would say so.
I don't think that, I think it's just misinterpreted.
Other apps handle it as I expect, e.g. Whatsapp or telegram.
But e.g. Threema does it wrong as well.
