Thank you Ron.

That alone did not do it but it pointed me in the right direction. I
also had to go again to Folder Options\File types and change from the
"Outlook Express" I had previously selected to the now newly available
option of returning to the default "Microsoft Internet Mail Message" and
now things work correctly.

Thanks.

: Hi
:
: I briefly tried Mozilla Thunderbird before deciding to return to
using

: 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

: 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?
