Bug 15810

1) When you save emails from Thunderbird's 'sentbox', they're not recognized as emails but as text/plain. But messages saved in Thunderbird from any other folder than 'sent' are seen as message/rfc822, which is IMHO the correct MIME type.

Is that a Thunderbird bug or a too strict pattern in fd.o.xml?

2) Evolution saved messages always appear as application/mbox.

Regarding the message saved from 'sentbox' in TB and an Evo message, the difference is apparently that Evolution adds a 'From' and date line at the top of the file, and it appears as application/mbox. 

Same question: is it normal that the Evo messages are detected as mailboxes and not messages? To me finally only the TB messages not from 'sentbox' look correct, or properly detected.

Thanks



See attached files for complete reference (tags from Evolution are here because I read them first with Evo, not because I saved them with it).
