Window Live Mail and Win 7

Window Live Mail: Occaisionally I save Win Live Email to a folder on my C Drive with the default file extension of "eml". In vista, when I select one of these saved files it quickly opens in Win Live Mail and be easily read. In Win 7 when I try the same, Live Mail opens but the selected "eml" file does not. In the interim, I've resorted to saving these email as "txt" files so I can later open them in a txt editor.

Any ideas on how I can get Win Live Mail to open these saved "eml" docs in Win 7. This works fine in Vista. It seems, but I'm not sure, that I use to be able to do this in Win 7 as well.

What does it do exactly? Does it come up with the dialog about no associated programs for this extension?

Could you post a screenshot please.

I've uploaded 3 JPGs. 1 is from my file folder, a 2nd is what i see in Win 7 after I click on the file in the folder, and the 3rd is what I see in Win Vista after I click on the file in the folder.

Thanks Brink. Still a no-go.

What I have done is download Thunderbird and set it as my default program for "eml" files. This works fine and gives me a good excuse to play with a new e-mail editor. Thanks for the welcome and the feedback.

I can tell you that this works in the RTM.
