[Bug 88002] saved mails from "Sent" folder are not recognized as e-mails

[Wouter Hanegraaff]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

If I save an e-mail from my sent box to a file, it will have a .eml
extension. However, if I try to open the file, it will open with the
default text editor. In the file browser, the file type is "plain text",
while the extension is .eml .

The reason is that when saving an e-mail from the sent folder, the "From
" header is stripped. Without this header, nautilus doesn't recognise
the file as an e-mail and the wrong application is used for opening the
saved mail.

This could be solved by making thunderbird not strip the "From " header,
or by having nautilus recognise files starting with "Message-ID: "
headers as e-mail files.

** Affects: mozilla-thunderbird (Ubuntu)
