Both extensions are valid. SquirrelMail uses .msg extension, because .eml
files are usually blocked by email filtering software (see src/compose.php
r.1.347 cvs log). Email client should follow mime headers (message/rfc822)
and not file extension.

Currently you can't open it due to unrecognized file extension. If
SquirrelMail uses .eml extension, Outlook Express 6 won't open it due to
Meniu -> Tools -> Options -> Security tab -> second checkbox from the top.

Extension is set in src/compose.php (two places with '.msg') and in
src/download.php (one place with $suffix = 'msg')
