I never said to go into properties.
Do again:
step by step then
Open the (File) Explorer, goto Tools - Folder Options.
Click on File Types and scroll down to EML.
You said there was :
At "open with" I get a box that shows "description of .eml file" Which is blank. Then a list of programs, which does not show outlook. This box has 3 buttons at the bottom, ok, cancel, other. When I click on other it brings another window and when I open c:/programs/outlook express. It inserts msimn. Then when I click ok a new windows opens for outlook to send/rec only
You are already there.
When it inserts msimn DO NOT Click OK !!!!!!!
Make sure the Action is OPEN. Selct it if needed and click EDIT.
If the is no action OPEN, delete anything in there and click new to enter open as an action.
If it was there, or you just created it, the action MUST be :
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /eml:%1
EXACTLY as typed here, INCLUDING the " and spaces.
The solution is out there.
