Default EML Files - Missing .exe file

What happens when you try to open them? Any error message?

If the main OE window just comes to the forefront, then you are missing
a parameter on the file association.

The attachments are .eml files. I can save them but cannot open them.

Yes, my anti-virus is set to scan email.

Done all this, but still doesn't open up my attachments in OE.



What are the extensions of the attachments?
Can you save them to the desktop and open them?
Is your anti-virus set to scan email?

Default EML Files - Missing .exe file

I have the same problem that you describe .eml attachments. I don't
have the .exe file and I've tried everything in this thread but still can't
open the files. Did you ever get this resolved? Thanks!

I have received emails with .emf attachments. I understand that I need to
associate this file extension with msimx.exe, but this file is missing from
my Outlook Express folder. How do I install this missing .exe file?

The program name is MSIMN.EXE not msimx.exe.

MSIMN.EXE is the program that starts Outlook Express, so if you don't
have it, you don't have a working version of Outlook Express.
