Default mail problem

A .email (or .ema) or .ezm file is an alternate file extension for an
..EML file. One option is to save the attachment, then rename with an
..EML file name.

Or you can create a file association for .email, .ema or .ezm files.

You can get to File Associations via:
- My Computer
- View (Win95/98/NT4/Me) or Tools (Win2000 or WinXP) menu
- Folder Options (or Options)
- File Types
- New Type
- New
- Action: OPEN

The application used needs to be:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /eml:%1

Michael,
No. The attachment just has a .email at the end of it.

I'm guessing that you see an EML attachment, and when you open that,
you
see the gibberish.

The EML file is the forwarded message. That you see the gibberish
indicates that the file association is wrong for EML files on your PC
and so they are opening in the wrong program (e.g. they are opening in
a
word processor rather than Outlook Express).

I have a friend who sends me a lot of forwarded messages with pictures
in them. When I open the attachment, all I see are a TON of garbled
up letter and numbers instead of the picture. What's up?
Thanks,
Sherry
