Viewing ".eml" attachment in Outlook 2002 (XP-Pro)

[LarryJ]

I am unable to open or view any ".eml" attachment.
Windows XP-Pro is my operating system with Outlook 2002
SP-2.

Any suggestions?

..eml is usually created by Outlook Express; Outlook won't know what to do
with them, but OE should. If you save the attachment to your hard drive and
try opening it in OE does it open? Not sure why people are sending you eml
attachments anyway from OE - can't they just click forward?

Hi Larry,

try this
START|AUSFÜHREN|REGEDIT

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security

Nun im Menu BEARBEITEN auf NEU klicken, und dann auf ZEICHENFOLGE
Folgenden Namen für den neuen Wert eintragen: Level1Remove
Jetzt mit der rechten Maustaste auf den neuen Namen klicken und ÄNDERN
auswählen
Nun kannst DU die entsprechenden Suffixe eintragen, die freigeschaltet
werden sollen. (.exe;.com;.mdb usw.) Wenn man alle Endungen eingetragen hat,
kann man den Reg Editor schliessen und Outlook neu starten. Alle Angehängten
in der Windows Registry freigegebenen Dateien
werden in Zukunft nicht mehr gesperrt und sind auch bei den alten Emails
nicht mehr gesperrt und es kann darauf zugegriffen werden.

Drag it into Outlook Express and then export to Outlook.

AOL does it - it nests and nests the "forwards" as eml attachments within
eml attachments - very annoying!

Unfortunately I cannot read German.

Thanks anyway for trying to assist.
