Default Attached messages don't open in OE

Hi

I briefly tried Mozilla Thunderbird before deciding to return to using
OE6 in XP. Now I have a peculiar problem. When I receive an email
message as an attachment inside another email message and I click on it
to open it, after the usual warning asking me if I wish to open it, it
opens in Thunderbird.

I have now uninstalled Thunderbird and deleted all its remaining
folders. I've gone into Folder Options\File types and changed eml to
open in OE, yet the problem now is that when I click on the attached
email, it does opens OE but not the attached email itself.

I looked in the registry for remaining items about Thunderbird and found
that the key
"Hkey_Classes_Root\.eml" has a key with name "ab(Default)" with a value
Data of "ThunderbirdEML".

I am guessing that is the problem but am not sure what to change its
value to.

Any help or advice?

Jeff
