Unable to open .eml files in IE8
Hi! first post, looking for help :)
Relatively fresh install Win 7 Pro 64bit
Thunderbird is default email programme
I use an outliner/PIM which uses IE to display saved files in it's viewer pane. It had a problem showing saved emails in .eml format.
I then tried to open the emails directly with IE 32 & 64 bits - without success.
What happens is:
a donwload progress-window opens, and, in front of that, a download dialogue asking do I want to open or save or cancel.
I thought I was being smart when I deselected "Always ask for this filetype" but then it opens the file in Thunderbird, the default handler.
But I want it to open in IE - why does the download dialogue open at all? I'm trying to use IE to open it:
this happens if I try to open a locally saved file via the context menu "open with" or if I try to open from within IE.
Some security setting maybe? This used work in XP IE8 so presume it should work here.
I presume I could make IE the default handler for eml but dont want to mess with Thunderbird either....
Thanks in advance
Tom
