Mutt will only use file-extensions if you tell it to. Specifically, 
add this to your muttrc:

     mime_lookup application/octet-stream

That's step 1. The next step is to tell mutt what mime-type to assume 
.eml files are. You do that by adding the following line to your 
~/.mime.types file:

     message/rfc822    eml

Once you've done that, mutt *should* handle the eml file just fine.
