Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_3) AppleWebKit/534.54.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.4 Safari/534.54.16

Steps to reproduce:

- Save a message as a .eml file to the desktop.
- Quit Thunderbird.
- Double-click on the .eml file in the Finder.


Actual results:

- Thunderbird launched, but the .eml file did not open.


Expected results:

- Thunderbird should launch and the .eml file should appear in a window (just as it does when Thunderbird is running).
I should also mention that I have the Finder configured to open .eml files in Thunderbird by default. To reproduce the bug you have to make sure that .eml files open in Thunderbird rather than Apple Mail.
Summary: .eml files opened from Mac Finder don't open on launch → .eml files opened from Mac Finder don't open if thunderbird isn't running
