There should be a dialog box allowing the user to choose a location, filename, and file type; and then the message should be saved to the file system.

Perhaps the same bug:

Steps to reproduce:

With Thunderbird 3.1.12 on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhale and Windows7:
1. Open a file in the .eml format from your hard drive.
2. It will open in a separate window.
3. Click File/Save As within the separate message window.
4. Nothing happens.

Actual results:

You are back in the separate message window, with the File menu closed.


Expected results:

Dialog box to choose file name, type, location ...

Does it work if you start Thunderbird in -safe-mode (see http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe-Mode) ?

On Win 7 (64bit) with Thunderbird 3.1.15 and 6.0.1, both in -safe-mode my report with the .eml files still is true:
The dialog box to choose a file name and such does not open.
