From the mail client, I could 'save as' any email message to a file with .eml
extension.   However there is no opion such as 'open message from file' to read
this exported email message back to the mail & news module

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.save any existing email message to local hard disk with extension .eml
2.use mozilla to open the exported file
3.message is only shown in normal browser instead of the email client.

Actual Results:  the email message was convert to html style and is shown on the
browser. 

Expected Results:  the exported email messages should be able to be read back to
the email client.
this is a dup.

Depends on what the reporter meant with "read back into email client". If he
means that the msg should be copied into the msg store, this is not a dup of
34150. Eric leung, reopen, if necessary.
There is a bug somewhere (I <mozilla@bucksch.org> filed it) that asks to import
a mail from clipboard, not sure, if that covered .eml files.
When a user export his email as .eml files, he would redistribut it through
normal file system so that he could share it with other users.

For the receiver, he should read back the .eml with his email client.  And it is
logical for the system to provide an opion to the user that he could either save
the email msg back to his msg store or leave it as an .eml files

Actually, "Copy msg to <folder>" (which basically is "save in msg store") is a
command available in the standalone msg window. Didn't remember that. So, it
indeed was a dup. Sorry. Marking as such.
