User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030425 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030425 When I have received an e-mail that has other e-mail messages in it as forwarded attachments, I'd like to be able to save these attached e-mail messages to my mail folders. In short, I would like to have a way in which I can "extract" any attached message from the encapsulating one, and treat the attached message as any other message in my mail folders. At the moment Mozilla only lets me save attached messages to files -- when I select "Save As..." for the message attachments I am presented with a dialog which lets me select the folder to save in on my local filesystem. What I'd like to see is an enhancement of this "Save As..." functionality where Mozilla would recognize that the attachment has the MIME type "message/rfc822", and would present me with an option: "Save As File On Disk..." or "Save As Message In Folder...". The former would have the current functionality, while the latter would present me with a Mozilla mail folder picker, which I could then use to select which mail folder the attached message should be saved in. The only previous discussion I found was from the mail-news newsgroup from 1998: <http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=74lbi5%24h73%241%40nnrp1.dejanews.com> I found nothing relevant in Bugzilla, sorry if this is a duplicate. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Right click on attachment that is a forwarded message to open context menu. Actual Results: Only "Save As..." (file on disk) option, no "Save as message in mail folder" option. Expected Results: Both "Save as file on disk" option and "Save as message in mail folder" option.

I think this is a duplicate of 204689. This is a major bug for large-volume email users, and I cannot use Mozilla Mail for my "serious" email until it is fixed.

Not a dupe of 204689. xref bug 11013 -- same request, but via drag-and-drop.

Add "message/rfc822" in summary for ease of search.

There would be another good way: When I open the attached mail, I have the functions "copy" in the message menu. There already is the whole folder structure shown and all looks perfect, but sadly it just doesn't work without any warning or notice. That puzzled me some time until I tried and gave up completely. If there would be a way to make this "copy" command work, that would be a good start. But if I have a mail with more attached mails, I would need a function to save all of them to a folder.
