When people forward messages to me, the forwarded message arrives as an .eml
attachment.

I am using Outlook 2003.

How can I get the system to not convert the forwarded messages as .eml
attachments, rather in-line text in the e-mail?

Thanks,
Leslie
 
They've probably chose to forward as attachment and are using Outlook
Express or Windows (Live) Mail.
Have them use a normal forward instead.
 
Hi Roady,

Is there a way (a setting) for MS Outlook to "unpackage" the .eml file?

EML files are just text files. Save it to disk and open it with Notepad.
 
The problem is, I lose the "thread" because I have the message from the
sender, then I have an attachment with the forwarded message. I want to
see/print both of them in a single printout. I am using MS Outlook in an
office environment.

Again, is there a way to (a setting) for MS Outlook to "unpackage" the .eml
file?

I don't believe so. EML files are openable by Outlook Express or Windows
Mail. Just like Outlook cannot open, say, spreadsheets, it can't open Outlook
Express messages. Even if i could, Outlook does not print the bodies of
attachments along with the body of the message to which it is attached, even
if it's another mail message. Ask your senders to forward messages in the
body instead of as an attachment.
