What do you consider "intuitive"?

This is a personal opinion which I don't agree with...  however...

I prefer to use:

.claws-mail/menurc:
  (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Menu/View/OpenNewWindow" "<Alt>Up")
  (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/Menu/File/Close" "<Alt>Down")
(off-topic: understanding focus-under-mouse also helps):

How about this? (pseudo-code):

if not "<Actions>/Menu/View/OpenNewWindow":  # no key mapping
    if Prefs->OpenInNewWindowOnEnter == True:  # new preference
        open_msg_in_new_window()  # new
    else:
        open_msg_in_main_window()  # current action
else:
    # follow existing rules
