Import email template .eml

I exported an email template and edited it to define styles in head and applied them in body. Now, how do I import this template? It's saved as .eml file. If I cannot import this file for some reason, then is there a way to apply styles in whole email body?

Try importing eml files to Local Folders with ImportExportTools NG if drag and drop isn't possible.

Update: I've even tried File>Save As>Template, but nothing happens.

An eml file can be imported by drag and drop from the file manager to a subfolder of Local Folders, at least on Windows. If you have a template message in TB and want to edit the html, select the message body, then Insert HTML... There are specific add-ons for html, such as ThunderHTMLedit.

I'm using fedora, a linux distribution. The drag and drop isn't working. I actually need some other people to use the same template and I have to do the same. The Inserting HTML option isn't elegant as I've to share the same template with others and they won't find it easy to copy-paste HTML in an email to create a template on their own.
