Description
Thunderbird's message viewer is pretty comfortable. You can navigate forward/backward through unread/all messages and threads by pressing quick navigation keys b,f,n,t and p. however, Its usability conflicts with NVDA virtual buffer quick-nav keys. Pressing nvda+space each time you want skip the message can become quite nasty.
I am thinking about some customized virtual buffer for thunderbird appModule, which will pass those keys to message viewer. Or we can go further and implement mode, in which nvda virtual buffer will act as regular text field without any quick-nav keys. Therefore this mode can be enabled by user when desired.

NVDA is developed by 
I tend to use NVDA+f2 to "pass next key through", rather than NVDA+space.
I'm not so keen on the idea of customising the buffer for Thunderbird. If we do want this, I think I prefer the idea of a mode to disable quick nav keys.
