Default email attachment

When someone sends me an attachment of type *.eml and I click to open the
*.eml file my screen goes back to the inbox screen like it has just opened
Outlook Express again. I have no problem opening email in inbox but can not
open *.eml as attachment. What is wrong? I have tried to redo the open with
file program but same thing happens.

Go to Tools | Options | View in WinExplorer and find the eml file type and
click on Advanced and then highlight Open and then click Edit.

The application used line should be:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /eml:%1

Use DDE should be checked.

Application should be

msimn

and the Topic is

System

and the other two boxes are blank.

see if that fixes it.

I don't drink coffee. Better start.

I didn't even read the OP. Just this part, so I jumped the gun.

Steve,
Which tools? I do not have View in WinExplorer tab on my outlook express
tools.
Thanks,
Ron Cardwell

Steve,

Tried this and got same results. when I click on attachment still just
seems to reopen OE. also if I save the attachment and try to open it it just
opens OE but not the eml file. Also if I go to " open with" it does not show
OE as recommened exe to open Type*.eml file. What next?
