When there is an e-mail attached in another e-mail, it is possible to open it, but it's not possible to view its source.

This can happen when a mail server report an error back to you, or when you get a forwarded message (with the forwarded message attached, not inline). If you right-click on the attached e-mail, you can open it, there is no option to view its source.

When the attached e-mail is opened, the View->Message Source (Ctrl-U) is not available.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send yourself a message containing an attached e-mail (.eml)
2. In this message, open the attachment
3 [review]. Try to view its source, you can't
Actual Results:  
You can't view the message source

Expected Results:  
You should be able to view the message source

Happens on Thunderbird 2 and 3
