Again, this is untested. I don't use SeaMonkey on Windows, so I cannot
actually test for you.
For me (Windows 7 Enterprise, Seamonkey 2.17.1), *.eml opens in
Seamonkey browser; if I drag and drop a *.eml file on the e-mail
client, the drop is rejected; if I drag and drop a *.eml file
on a message window opened from the e-mail client, the drop is
accepted but the resulting action is null. I therefore suspect
that the Seamonkey e-mail client cannot handle *.eml files, at
least at 2.17.1. Later releases may differ.

Well, it was a nice idea, but apparently it won't work. While I can get
.eml files to display in the browser, the mail component does not seem
to take file parameters.
If I'm already in the mail client and do File | Open and point to an
.eml file, it opens in the mail client. If I double-click on an .eml
file in Windows Explorer, it opens in the browser. There doesn't seem to
be a way to pass the -mail parameter to the program when you specify
which program Windows uses to open this file type (I haven't tried
fiddling with the registry, but I suspect an expert could do it there).
As pointed out earlier in the quotes in this post, it's possible to open
SeaMonkey's mail component directly by using the '-mail' parameter by
means of a batch file. The problem is that there seems to be no way to
open an EML file via command line other than with the browser.
seamonkey my.eml works.
seamonkey -mail my.eml doesn't work.
