How can I move an e-mail forwarded as an attachment into my inbox?

I recently migrated from MS Outlook 2003 to Thunderbird 24.4.0 for my personal e-mail because I can't afford the latest MS Outlook and wouldn't really want version 2013 anyway. Prior to the migration, any time someone sent me a personal e-mail at work, I would forward it home as an attachment and move that attachment into my inbox at home. In Thunderbird, I find that when I drag the e-mail attachment from the attachment section to the Inbox folder (the actual folder in the navigation pane or the list of e-mails in the inbox), I get the unavailable symbol (circle with slash through it). I am guessing this is not going to be something I can do in Thunderbird, but wanted to check here and see if anyone had other ways to get the same end result.

The reason I have done this historically is to preserve the original e-mail and have the mail client show me who sent it to me. Viewing the forwarded message is fine, but if I want to look for it later, I have to look for a forwarding e-mail from myself instead of the original message that was sent to me.

Beyond getting people to use my personal address (really not sure why/how they have my work one), does anyone have any advice that could make this happen? For the record, I also tried resending the e-mail to my personal address as if it were from the original sender, but that won't fly at work due to the security configuration in the Exchange server.

Save the attachment, and give it an eml extension if it doesn't have one (messages attached to TB messages are named 'Attached Message'), then drag the eml file from the Explorer folder where you saved it and drop it on a TB folder in the Folder Pane.

Thank you! For my future reference, would this work the same (minus the term explorer) if I switched to Ubuntu?

As long as other email programs attach messages as eml files, explicitly or otherwise, I see no reason why the same method wouldn't work on Ubuntu.
