[nflug] Viewing .eml files

[David Mangani]

I'm using t'bird 2.0.0.6 in Ubuntu 7.10. I have NOT tried printing any
of the .eml's that I've received, so I can't speak to that as a
problem or not. I did a quick search on Mozilla.org and found this
link. It does sounds as though the .eml implementation is not a
"complete" solution. Sorry for piping in earlier. I have simple needs,
and for me, the .eml files work well enough ( I can read them ) in
t'bird.
