Windows 7: eml attachments

I can't open eml attachments. Thank you in advance.

Hello toetapping,

Welcome to 7 Forums.

What email program are you using? I believe that Live Mail can open these. Link here. http://www.sevenforums.com/software/...-versions.html

Hope this helps.

I think he is using live mail from his previous posts. I don't have any experience with it, but maybe you could check out this solution to see if that helps.

Also, is that the shortest original post on this forum?

Must be when you think the last half is used for thanking...

I love your sense of humour. Toetapping is a Senior Lady not a man but may be this thread will be the longest. Also I must say you have such quick responses to problems.

I do have Windows Live Mail. I went into the links you provided. I have googled and nothing seems to work.

What I have now is that any EML type attachment has an association with Windows Live Mail under default programs , they open the attachment but nothing is there. I have tried about 6 attachments so it is not as though there may have not been one there to start with.

Been awhile since I tried live mail, but if I remember correctly, I also had to tick 'Internet zone' in that same window in order to get attachments.

Dear Madam, eml-file is an email. Some web-based email systems, as well as some POP3 / IMAP mail clients use this a little bit confusing method when forwarding email.

Outlook Express used this when a sender had used a certain stationery (background with graphics) which your mail client could not show.

You could try this:

• Save the eml-attachments to a folder of your choice
• Open Live Mail, click Inbox to open it
• Open your eml-attachment folder
• Put Live Mail and your folder window side by side so you can see both
• Drag the eml-files from eml-folder to Live Mail Inbox

You should now see those attachments as normal emails in your Inbox.

Thank you for your answer but it does not work either.
