How to re-open a message window when it is behind the main window of Thunderbird?

For writing a new message Thunderbird opens new window. Activating main window of Thunderbird hides this new window with new message behind Thunderbird. On my Mac how do I re-activate this new message window? I know of using Mission Control, but would like an easy way. Does a quick way exist? cmd-tab does not do the job. Maybe some other hotkey? Thanks

Ctrl + Tab is windows specific I think.

On a Mac ctr-T does not do anything in this situation. (sometimes it will open a new tab in a browser)

Maybe alt+tab; this works in Windows and Linux. Both these OSes offer tools via the task bar to bring selected windows to the foreground. I really think this is a question about how to drive a Mac. ;-)

You could also minimize or move the offending window to reveal the other one trapped behind it.
