Can't reply/forward e-mail's attached *.eml?

[Ant]

Hello,

I have an e-mail from NetZero address with an attached EML file. I
opened it up and wanted to reply/forward, but SeaMonkey fails to do it.
Is this feature broken or something? :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Some mail hosts refuse to accept .eml attachments on the grounds that
they may contain malware. Is the error message from SM or from your ISP?

It's not during sending e-mails. It's in my SeaMonkey client
(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/68.0 SeaMonkey/2.53.14). No errors. Just no results. Nothing
happens.

I saved my EML file and then used the addon to import it nicely. Thank
you! :)

Thunderbird 52.9.1

I just tried a test on Thunderbird that you might try with SeaMonkey.

1. I sent an E-mail message from my primary E-mail account to my backup
account.

2. After receiving the message in my backup account, I selected it
without opening it and then selected [File > Save > File] to create an
.eml file.

3. I opened my primary account and opened Inbox.

4. I dragged the .eml file and dropped it into the Inbox message pane.

The result was that the message in the .eml file appeared as a regular
message that I could forward or reply. With both forwarding and
replying, I was able to alter the original message as well as provide
new text.

In your case, you need to Detach or Save As the attached .eml file
before dragging and dropping it.
