This issue was fixed in upstream bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261559 which is showing "VERIFIED FIXED" since 2008-08-07 but no target release given. Thunderbird will only register itself to handle .eml files when set as the default mail client. Tested ok with Thunderbird 60.4 in Ubuntu 18.04. No activity here for over 8 years so closing as fixed.
