You installed bugzilla on a machine where you run Evolution?

What distro are you running?  On Red Hat 8.0, that library is provided by gnome-libs.  On Red Hat 7.3, it's provided by db1 or compat-glibc.

They're in mbox format, unless otherwise specified.  Lots of things can open them.  In a pinch, I revert to mutt.  I'm not sure, but I'd expect mozilla-mail would be able to handle them.  They're in ~/evolution/local/<foldername>
