User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: version 1.5 Beta 1 (20050908)

When trying to detach an e-mail which was "forwarded as attachment", TB makes
two attachments with the same name (the subject of the attached message) out of
the one attached message. Double clicking on the first one feeds the detached
message into the default app for text/ascii instead of showing it in a mail
window; double clicking on the second one does open a mail window, but it is empty

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. forward an e-mail as attachment
2 [review]. detach the attached e-mail
3. 

Actual Results:  
2 "detachments" are produced
one points to the detached e-mail with type text/ascii
the second points to an empty message

Expected Results:  
produce one "detachment" with type rfc-xyz/message

This is with IMAP.
Deleting an attached message works.
The attached message is a simple text message.
Version: unspecified → 1.5

Please be more specific about what you tested. Pop or IMAP? What is the type of
the message? Also note that you seem to be using a nightly, not a beta release.

I tested on IMAP. Forwarded a normal plain text email as attachment, then
detached the attachment when the mail arrived. No problems found, only one
"detachment" created.

Yes, I use a nigtly branch build. Those will eventually become the final 1.5
version so you might want to test if you still get the problem.
Retested with 20050926 nightly from the moz1.8 branch of TB on linux with an
IMAP account. Now, TB correctly produces one single "detachment".

The second issue mentioned in this bug still remains: double clicking on the
detachment in the attachment shows the choices for a text file, not for an eml
file. TB opens the detachment as a raw text. On the other hand, opening the
detachment via File->Open Saved Message displays it correctly in a message
window. Should I file a separate bug for this?
opening of eml attachments is covered in another bug, I believe.

Well, this bug (its second half, that is) is about opening detached attachments
whose type is "message/rfc822". I couldn't find any bug on this.
