Default Attached messages don't open in OE


"Jeff" ...
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
