Ludovic, I think it is incorrect to mark bug 739341 as a duplicate of this bug. Bug 726969 concerns the default handler for .eml files. Bug 739341 concerns the way that Thunderbird fails to respond to Open Appleevents on launch, regardless of whether Thunderbird is the default .eml handler or not. The two are separate problems and are likely to be in different parts of the code.

I might have an iron in the fire with this one.

WIll see if I can submit a patch in the next day or so, time permitting.

Yes, it is still true. I made Thunderbird my default mail client -before, I was using Mail- and it didn't made itself the default handler for .eml files
