Saving messages to a non WLM folder

I keep a copy of my internet purchase order confirmations in a totally separate folder. They are normally saved as WLM documents and I can open them. However occasionally one is stored as _EML and this will not open.

How can I save/convert it to WLM?

Try renaming the saved _eml to .eml
ie: tom.eml

The folder containing the files has 3 columns. The third is the file format and the first is the file name. I can only rename items in the first column - is there any other way to change the file format?

Try copy to your desktop and rename it there and see if Windows Live Mail will open it.

Thanks, that's done the trick

You're most welcome.
