This will open another instance of IE and then when i click on the threads in that instance, it will populate the original with the thread. Very clunky, but only way i have found to make it useful to me.

Yes, I would say that is the icon to get the map of thread. Because the map is being shown in the message frame, another click on a message in it will overwrite the message frame content. I will add a setting in the account setup to specify that any map request of the thread would open in the top frame instead.
