Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: 20070221

When you view a .ezm attachment (the kind you receive from mailing list digests) in the message window by double-clicking on it from the attachments pane, some useful controls are disabled (View->Message Source and File->Save As) and nearly everything under the Message menu (except New Message) and the Reply, Reply All, and Forward buttons appear to be enabled, but do nothing when you click on them.  These three buttons would be particularly useful when replying to a message in a digest.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to a mailing list in digest format.  I'm subscribed to the Subversion mailing list, which you can subscribe to by sending an email to users-digest-subscribe@subversion.tigris.org.
2. Wait for your first digest.
3. Double-click on one of the .ezm attachments to open that message in a message window.
4. Try to use any of the following controls:
   * The Reply, Reply All, or Forward buttons
   * The Reply, Reply to All, Forward, Forward As, Edit Message as New, or Create Filter from Message items in the Message menu item
   * The Move or Copy items under the Message menu item
   * The Message Source item under the View menu item
   * The Save As item under the File menu item
Actual Results:  
* The Reply, Reply All, and Forward buttons do nothing
* The Reply, Reply to All, Forward, Forward As, Edit Message as New, and Create Filter from Message items in the Message menu items do nothing
* The Move or Copy items under the Message menu item do nothing

* The Message Source item under the View menu item is disabled
* The Save As item under the File menu item is disabled

Expected Results:  
The Reply, Reply All, and Forward buttons as well as the Reply, Reply to All, Forward, Forward As, Edit Message as New, or Create Filter from Message items in the Message menu item should work as documented!

The Move and Copy items under the Message menu item should either work as documented, or be disabled, since they're awkward and (in the case of Move) potentially dangerous operations to perform on an attachment.

The Message Source and Save As operations should work as documented, rather than being disabled.

The Save As command isn't particularly necessary, since you can do that through the attachments pane, if you can remember which attachment you're viewing, but it would be intuitive.  However, for the most part, I've only tried to do this as a partial solution for not being able to view source, reply, forward, or edit as new.

I've marked the OS as Vista, because that's what I'm using, but I observed this bug on Windows XP before I "upgraded".
