357105 - attached e-mail messages (or .eml files) do not support copy-to command

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 204612

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Paolo Bonzini]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: version 1.5.0.7 (20060909)

Double clicking an attached e-mail message brings up a standalone message window.  The "copy to" command in the message pop-up menu do not have any action, in particular they do not create a new copy of the message in the specified folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Forward a message to yourself
2. Select the newly received message, double-click on the attachment to bring up a message window
3. In the message window, bring up the pop-up menu, choose Copy To (and a folder); the message will not be extracted out of the received message, nor will it be copied into the specified folder.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird does not extract the attached message out of the received message.  

Expected Results:  
I would expect a copy of the attached message to be placed in the specified folder.

No known workaround.  Saving the message to disk and opening does not work, either.
