.EMAIL ATTACHMENTS

[Brian]

I have received emails lately that have an attachment
with the extension of .email. I can't get these
attachments to open. When I double click, it appears to
start to open, but really nothing happens. Any advice?

Please respond to email address above. Thanks!

The closest "legal" file extension would be .eml , which is the Outlook
Express default file extension. Regardless of the file name, extension
type, you should be very careful with any file attachments if they are
unexpected from people you do not know. If the message is from someone you
are expecting a file attachment from, I would suggest you contact the sender
and verify the attachment and application type.

This message would have probably already paid a visit to my Deleted Items
folder

Hope that helps!!

Thank you!

An .email file is an alternate file extension for an .EML file. One option
is to save the attachment, then rename with an .EML file name. Another is
to create a file association for .email files. The application used needs
to be:

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /eml:%1
