Comment 5 for bug 88002

I guess .eml files should be automatically recognized by shared-mime-info (thus by nautilus) as emails to open with the default mail application, even when their header is missing (since there is no ambiguity about the contents of the file). One may want to remove the "From" header from the file.

In Gutsy, the "From" header is saved by Thunderbird, so the standard saved mails are correctly recognized. *Though, Thunderbird is not proposed to open .eml files*. Maybe it should add a file in /usr/share/mime to tell shared-mime-info it can open these files. Or is this the job of s-m-i or of any other package?
