email extension can't be processed what pgm. is associated with it
 

I have been receiving email that sometimes has, what appears to be, a EMAIL
extension, like a wmv for a movie clip. When I try and process the email I
get a msg. returned that says I have NO pgm. associated with the attachment.
I have searched for email, on this group, but get everything associated with
email back and can't find my particular problem
Thank You

Save one to the desktop then right click and choose open with from the menu.

You should see a window with a selection of programs or an option to search
the web or choose from a list (Depends on which Windows you have a bit).

When you get the list check the box "Always open with" and then browse to
c:\program files\outlook express and choose msimn.exe

Outlook express used to be called Microsoft Internet Mail and News hence the
odd file name.

Hope this works for you but if not there is another method if it doesn't.

I messed up the instructions. i did not follow them well. How do I delete
pgms. from file associations ? I have 2 in there now that I don't want. When
I get the invalid ones out I will retry your instruction more carefully

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

Michael just described the other method so either should work.
