Thanks Jim. I did "state the operating system I am using" and "version
number of Outlook Express". I even threw in the computer make and model for
good measure. I also "delivered feedback" to the first response. I know
that MVP's are VBP's (Very Busy Persons) and you have to use "prefabbed"
responses sometimes, but I do feel somewhat chastised ;-).
Neverthe less, your work is much appreciated and your advice has been very
helpful to me in the past.

This article has the most likely answer:

You should always state the operating system you are using, along with the
version number of Outlook Express shown in the Help/About screen for that
program when you are posting and asking for assistance. Otherwise a lot
of
time is wasted try to "guess" at the possible answer.

Hi,

I recently had to do a "restore to factory specs.". Every thing is
working
OK now except one item.
I had backed up on CD a number of "Stationeries", saved with the
extension
.eml. Previous to the backing up these could merely be clicked on and
would
appear ready to be sent as E-Mails complete with text, graphics and
music.

Now on clicking on one of these, error messages appear:
"OE could not be started. 0x800C000D".
"MSOE.DLL could not be initialized".

OE works perfectly in all other respects and when I right-click one of
these
.eml files and choose "Send to/ Mail recipient", it works! OE opens up
but
with the file as an attachment. I would much rather have it "the way
things
were".

Is there some way I can do this?
Thank you.
