Question Help with Outlook Express Attachments

I'm running XP Pro with OE 6.0

I recently got a new computer with a new hard drive. I added my old hard drive as a slave to the new main hard drive. I then uploaded all the programs that I wanted to run.

In the process, I also booted up and upgraded my Outlook Express. Everything operates just fine except that I'm having a problem with opening attachments (.eml). What would cause this? When I try to open the attachments, the program does not know what program to run it in. For that matter, I don't either.

I never had this problem before, but, since the I got this new computer running, nothing but problems with attachments.

I'm also running BlackICE, Meaya Popup Ad Filter and Norton AntiVirus ... if that helps.

Any suggestions????

Thanks
Bob

Open My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types ...

Scroll down the list and select EML > In the details box it should say 'Opens with Outlook Express'.

If it doesn't click Change > then select Outlook Express from the list of applications > OK > Close.
