Can you attach a sample mail? Save as .eml

Attachment: Sample email

I'm not completely sure whether it's eml or not. The OS X mail app didn't state it.

Sorry for the duplicate, but at least you now have a sample eml and a sample of the mail notification. Do I need to duplicate/copy/move my attachments here or can you find them at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=298886 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=298889 ?

Similar to bug 449756.

I get to see the same behavior for plain text messages that are sent with content-transfer-encoding base64. The new mail notification window shows the base64 encoded text, instead of the decoded text.
