Description

[Ivan Lamaddalena]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; libero; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: 1.5.0.5

Hi,
if I try to save a email message on my local directory, giving to it the extension with uppercase (MyMessage.EML) I see that there is not possibility to open the same file giving the double click on it. Only thunderbird application will be opened, but without the form of the specific email message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to save a message locally (File-->Save As)
2. Specify the extension in uppercase
3. Close thunderbird client
4. Double click on email message saved on PC

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird has been open but it does not show the email message

Expected Results:  
The email message should be opened

I lurked into the Code and noticed something maybe related whit this bug. 

code: "thunderbird-1.5.0.7-source.tar.bz2" AND "thunderbird-2.0a1-source.tar.bz2"
file: "mailnews/base/src/nsMessengerBootstrap.cpp"
line: 128: if (StringEndsWith(arg, NS_LITERAL_STRING(".eml")))

Is this related? The method StringEndsWith() calls STRING.Equals(), usually a case sensitive method (i cant find it in the code). I noticed also a method EqualsIgnoreCase().

this is fixed on trunk and 2.0 branch, and is a dup.

I have downloaded 2.01a version and on this problem nothing has been changed. Are you sure that this bug has been fixed. 
I would like to remember that I get this error only 
when I have saved locally a file with .EML extension in uppercase format

This is a dupe.  Do not reopen.  The problem is fixed in 2b1 builds, not in the 2a1 alpha release, which was created before the patch at the dupe was checked in on the version-2 branch.

You can find a current 2b1 build at:
  ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8/
