OE won't open .eml files.
 

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.

This behavior can occur if the attributes of any or all of the Outlook Express *.dbx mail files are set to read only
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=238656

OE won't open .eml files.
 

Thanks, "Touch Base". I followed the instructions in that MS support
article (238656) but I found that none of my .dbx files were set to "Read
Only".

Further suggestions welcome!

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.

When you copied the saved Stationeries back to your HDD, where did you save
them, (Desktop)? Make sure *those* folders aren't Read Only. Copying to CD
automatically sets that when it is copied back to your HDD.

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.

Thanks Bruce.

When I copied the saved Stationeries back to my HDD, I saved them in a
folder which I created ("My Documents 2"). I never thought of checking
*their* properties! I find that none of *those* files that I've checked
are Read Only.

BTW.......... *Those* **?!!*?!! files are now working as intended. (Don't
ask.) I did nothing, NOTHING!! I swear......... a lot.

Go to Help | About and give us the complete version number (e.g.
6.00.2800.1106).
