464267 - When creating an email, Thunderbird does not save as an email file

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[enigma1987]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.62 (Windows NT 6.0; U; en) Presto/2.1.1
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.12 (20080213)

When trying to save a new email that I have written, it defaults to "text file" and does not allow the option to save as an "email" or .eml file. The only two optiosn listed are "text file" or "all files". When choosing "all files" it does not save the email with any extension at all, you have to manually type in ".eml" at the end of the file name. It also defaults to "text file" type, when it should default as a "mail file".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new email
2. File -> Save As
3. File type box defaults to "text file" and does not allow saving as a "mail file"
Actual Results:  
Does not save with .eml extension

Expected Results:  
Should default to "mail file" and save with .eml extension

This happens when using Thunderbird with either normal WIndows XP, or Windows XP 64-bit.
