How can I change the email "save as type" default from "All Files" to "Mail Files?"

I save most of my outgoing emails to an external flash drive and find that when I use the "Save as type" default option "All Files" (vs. other choices: Mail Files, HTML Files, Text Files) , I often (but not always) do not get the preferred Thunderbird format that also saves any attachments. I usually save my outgoing emails one by one at a dozen or so at a time, and if I allow the default type ("All Files"), I get inconsistent results --- some in Thunderbird format and others in a less desirable format where I have to choose from a variety of unwanted formats (including Thunderbird which simply opens up a new blank email -- not my original message). I would prefer not to open the drop-down list of "save as type" options in order to select "Mail Files." I realize I can tab from "FIle Name" to "Save as type" and hit the "m" key (for Mail Files), but I was hoping I could avoid this extra step by changing the default.

re : I usually save my outgoing emails one by one at a dozen or so at a time.

If i right click on an email and select : 'Save AS' a new window opens. I can choose the location. Filename: this is auto filled - usually the 'Subject' with a .eml extension. Save as Type: 'All files'

Do you see a .eml extension at the end of the filename ? Do you ever alter the filename ?

If you alter the filename then you must add the extension .eml. Otherwise it will not know what format to use when saving, causing obvious problems.
