Do not associate msimn.exe with dbx files.

If you want to view the contents of a dbx file, follow the instructions for
Single Folder:

The contents of your dbx files are your e-mail messages. There is no
reason to open them up. If you could, all you would see is the same
messages that are in your OE folders.

Have you ever tried opening a .dbx file in Documents and Settings? It
will just tell you that "Windows can not open this file".

There must be a better way.

Is there a small freeware program that will let me read dbx files?

Thank you
