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
Content Type (MIME) should be:
message/rfc822
Depending on your version of Windows, you may not see the Content type
while setting up the file association. In that case, don't worry about
it.

Hi MM,
Thanks for confirming .email extension will not display in Outlook
Express
even though Outlook Express is assign to open .email extensions.
However it does display in Outlook Express when changed to .eml.
Strange.....
I do not have a answer to the problem.

| Using your suggestions I saved the xxx.email file and changed it to
a eml
| file. works fine, opens in OE
| Properties show program to be used as OE--that's logical.
| changed to xxx.email in hard disk - oe window pops open with last
page
view
| but no xxx.email file display. Properties again "still" show as
opens with
| OE.
| Its straight forward. MY OE6 will not open a .email file or maybe
just
those
| forwarded by MSN as many Google results show.

| Hi Shakey,
|
| You can change .email to open with Outlook Express.
|
| By the way, what program does .email open with now?
|
| As Ron suggested, save your .email to hard disc.
|
| Right click it and choose Properties.
|
| Properties dialog window will display what program is assigned to
Opens
| with:
|
| Notice you can click Change to choose and assign the program you
want to
| use.
|
| If you need more help, post back.

| | Yes I did mean Outlook express and that don't work. Consistent
with
what
| | Google says about msn's .email files.
| | Your second suggestion worked fine, thank you, but isn't
practical
with
| | people who sends me many email files. Its just too cumbersome to
use
to

change the

results
in

extension

| | I Google many others saying this but no fixes. Can anyone
here
