What happens when you try to open them? Any error message?

If the main OE window just comes to the forefront, then you are missing
a parameter on the file association.

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /eml:%1

The attachments are .eml files. I can save them but cannot open them.

Yes, my anti-virus is set to scan email.

Done all this, but still doesn't open up my attachments in OE.


What are the extensions of the attachments?
Can you save them to the desktop and open them?
Is your anti-virus set to scan email?
