Additional information: Chrome does not have this problem.

I tested the same scenario with Google Chrome (installed as .deb) on the
same system. Chrome downloads the .eml file locally and does not attempt
to open it directly with an external application. As a result, the "Open
with..." dialog does not appear, and the file can be opened normally
from Thunar with Thunderbird.

This suggests that the issue is specific to Firefox Snap and how it
interacts with the XDG portal (OpenURI). Chrome, using a different
approach (download + open from file manager), bypasses the problem
entirely.

This narrows the scope of the bug to Firefox Snap's integration with
xdg-desktop-portal on Xubuntu 26.04 with XFCE.
