how to pop out default message pane (preview pane) in a separate window.

more options

I would like to know if there is a way to make the default message pane (preview pane) in Thunderbird a separate window.

I know one can open a mail in a separate window, but the default message pane is different in the sense that it automatically opens a mail (preview) that is in current selection of the mail list.   
I would like to retain this behavior of the default (preview) message pane, but be able to have this pane as a separate window.    Is this possible?

Thanks

It will not do that. The message pane actually opens the messages. It is not a preview.

Please do not place spaces at the beginning of your sentences. It formats them and makes it hard to read.
