Hi I recieve e-mail attachments daily and can't open them. The file extensions are .eml. An error pops up when I try to open these. "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in My Computer goto View then to Folder Options and create an association. Does anyone know how I create this association or the program needed? I'm using Microsoft Outlook Express and Windows 98. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Save the file to your desktop, minimize all windows double click the file it will open the Open With... dialog box select outlook express and check the "always use this yadda yadda" box at the bottom.

Be careful what you open with the .eml extension. It is a legitimate outlook extension when forwarding emails that were originally sent with outlook, some of the more famous, recent viruses (nimda) are transfered with the .eml extension.

I am not sure what program will open these. Is there a specific program that does open these?
