When receiving mail from people I know. I cannot open attachemtns ending with
.eml or .email. What program will open these?
You can send me email or post here. I will check back.

You may be able to set Windows Mail to open those (.eml is native to OE/WinMail).
Default Programs > Associate a file type...

Gary, I will be the first to admit that I do not know that much about
computers. And I am not sure how to do what you suggested. Could you explain
in an email to me? Send to (e-mail address removed)
Thanks Maureen
 
Sorry, I can't give individual lessons.
If you don't know about Default Programs, you can query Help and Support.

An alternative is to save those attachments, then open them in Notepad.

Now I am stuck, because it won't open in note pad. They want to open in Adobe
Acrobat. That is my main problem. Oh well, I guess I will try someplace else.
Thanks
 
Open Notepad, File, Open, navigate to the file you want opened.
By default, Notepad looks only for .txt files, so you can either rename
the extension of the file or else tell Notepad to look for all files.

Save them to the desktop. Then right click on one and choose Open With |
Set Default and then choose WinMail.exe (Windows Mail -- "C:\Program
Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe").

I had the same problems after 2 weeks of working with HP techs with no luck
went to my cable company and they steered me to Norton Virus on my Vista
machine. I downloaded an update and now things look like they will work. I
don't have any new attachments but went to deleted files and they will now
open. Morrell
