From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607
BuildID:    0000000000

When a message is saved as file (.eml) using the menu option File-Save
As...-File, if in the message source there are lines that start with a dot
("."), in the resulting eml file that lines are saved without the initial dot.
I've tested it in Linux and Windows 2000.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send to yourself a text only mail message that contains a line starting with
a dot.
2. Check mail and save the new message as file
3. Open the saved file with a text editor and check the line that should have a
dot as first character.

Actual Results:  The dot character disappear in the saved file.

Expected Results:  The dot character must be at the start of the line

using commercial branch on NT 4.0
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020708
and commercial trunk on linux 2.2
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020708

This works for me. I composed 2 mesgs, one as html & other as text.
The first char in the body contained a '.'. I sent both mesgs
to myself, saved them with File|Save as|File|. I chose file type
.eml. I then looked at the *.eml files and each mesg did have
the '.' at the beginning.

Reporter try a more recent build.

Marking as works for me.
