.email files

[Dave Cunningham]

Hi Everyone,

Since I upgraded to Windows Vista....which over all I really like, I'm
unable to open any emails with a .email extention. Outlook Express could
handle those, but it appears Windows Mail can not. These emails come
primarily from AOL users and all of their forwarded emails come as a .email
attachement.

I'm able to open up the .email file with notepad or word, but they just
don't look right.

Is there anyway Windows Mail can open these? And if so, how do I go about
associating the file with Windows Mail.....cause it didn't work for me
before.

Thanks
Dave

Sorry, meant to suggest changing the extension to .eml and see what happens.

Changing the extension to .eml should have enable Windows
Mail to open the file. In what way didn't it help?
