* <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Display of the message's own attachments are not right ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206278 bug 206278])</span><span style="background-color:lime;">Fixed for TB&nbsp;2.0</span>
* It should be possible to file (import) the attachment or the .EML file directly into a mail folder ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11013 bug 11013] / [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226877 bug 226877], [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204612 bug 204612]). The menu action <tt>&nbsp;Message | Copy To | ''folder''&nbsp;</tt> would be an elegant way to implement this.<br>For a .EML file, the Copy menu is enabled, but does nothing (the Move menu is disabled). However, for an RFC822 attachment, both menus are enabled, and an attempt to file the attachment using them '''puts the program into an unstable state''' that prevents normal message movement and other actions ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259522 bug 259522]).
 
== Semicolon-separated address lists ==
Microsoft's mail handlers have both accepted and encouraged the use of semicolon-separated address lists, in direct contradiction of RFC 2822. While Mozilla's support for the accepted use of the semicolon (named address groups) is lacking, that usage is not at all widespread. On the other hand, there are plenty of mailto: links in the wild which specify a list of addresses separated with semicolon, and messages that arrive from Outlook users with address lists separated by semicolons; Mozilla's behavior with these is clearly broken.
 
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242693 Bug 242693]: Smarter handling of a typed-in semicolon-separated address list. While we would prefer users not enter semicolons at all, the list is not flagged as erroroneous and TB attempts to send, but misparses the list badly, resulting in errors when sending.
 
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210521 Bug 210521]: Smarter handling of semicolon-separated address lists using Reply All. In this case, the address list is grossly misparsed, filling in the address fields on the CC: list of the new message with a long, illegal string.
 
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258653 Bug 258653]: Smarter handling of semicolon-separated address lists in a mailto: link. Similar results to the above bug.
