If you save eml attachment then default behaviour is to save it without any
extension. This is specially noticable when saving multiple attachemnts, as user
must edit names of saved files

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. get some message with .eml attachmet - if you don't have any forward some
message as attachment and save it as draft
2. save attachment(s)
Actual Results:  
Attachment (message) is saved without any extension

Expected Results:  
Attachment (message) should be saved with .eml extension

I see this happen in two cases:
1) if the forwarded email has been sent without the .EML extension.  In Mozilla/
TB, this happens if a message is dragged into the compose window's attachment 
pane -- bug 209629.
2) if the file name is changed in the Save As dialog, in which case (under 
Windows, at least) the message with exactly what is typed, with no extension 
appended -- this is consistent with how Mozilla saves files in general.

Ivan Icin, is this bug about one of those two particular instances, or are you 
seeing the symptom in a different situation?

In fact, it happens for the Forward As | Attachment case, as well -- bug 220646.

Bug 220646 is what I was thinking about.
