I could find no way to have mozilla mail store an email that was 
encrypted during transport as plaintext.  This should be possible, 
both when saving it to a file, and when moving or copying it to 
another folder.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. receive encrypted email
2. select save to file
3. 
Actual Results:  
file is useless trash rather than an email message.  This also occurs when
trying to move the email to another folder; it shows up there in a format
that normal tools can't deal with.

Expected Results:  
Have part of the save as dialog box be a query as to whether it should be
saved as plaintext.  For folders this becomes a bit more complicated.  Either
a preference for everything to be stored as plaintext in the folder, or a 
query box when you move things into it.

Don't know about 1.2.1 but in current versions you can save in File and then
choose "Text Files" as File Type. It then saves the body in plaintext though not
all header informations.
So a poor mans version of this RFE is available, but decrypting should also
available for mails in eml format a.s.o.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.

S.baker is it still an issue with recent Thunderbird builds are recent seamonkey builds ?
