When I double-click a message in my archive folder in Local Folders, it opens a Compose window, not a reading tab or window. I have to right-click the archived message and choose Open message in new tab/window to read the message. It should default to opening for reading, not answering (Composing). Is there some setting I'm missing? 115.1.0+ on Windows 11 Pro 22H2

It looks like the archive folder is working like a drafts folder, so you might be able to fix it with FolderFlags.
