OK, so my suggestion doesn't help you exactly ("I don't want to
leave the newsgroup"). However, this is the way it works for me:
(1) A newsgroup posting is selected and I view it in the Reading
pane
(2) I hit 'Reply Group' and a Compose window opens. While composing,
I need to refer to an email.
(3) I select the All e-mail Quick view and use Find a message to
locate the one I'm looking for. Copy if necessary.
(4) Reselect the newsgroup. I am returned to where I was before in
the Message list, with focus.
(5) Alt-Tab to bring the Compose window to the front and carry on
composing.
One drawback with this is that the All e-mail Quick view can be slow
if you have a lot of messages and insufficient memory. Performance
seems to improve, though; it is as if it's only the first time in a
session that it's slow, as if a database has to be built and then
stays built - with additions as mail is sent and received -
throughout the session.
