When you use the Save As command to save a message to disk, Thunderbird uses the default filename message.eml. It might be nice to use the metadata contained in the message headers to set a more descriptive default filename, such as * first n characters of the sender's name * first n characters of the Subject * message date ...taking care to use a filename that will be valid on the particular platform (i.e. not using a / character in the filename).
