MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / May 2006email received as eml attachment
I just installed 2003 and all of a sudden I am getting a lot of email in eml format. It comes in as potentially being forged and is an attachment named "message.eml". When I open it, it opens in Outlook Express. Where do I find information on how to correct this? Why in the name of all mothers of hairy legged children are you OPENING a message that you acknowledge appears to be forged??????  SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading. After furious head scratching, MJ asked: | I just installed 2003 and all of a sudden I am getting a lot of email | in eml format.

While Milly has the most appopriate answer to your question, I'll take a shot at it, on the off-chance that you are receiving e-mails from your friends (by this, I mean they actually intended to send you an e-mail, and it came in as an .eml format). I want to note that doing this will have it try to open the e-mail in Outlook, but that it may not show up properly. Assuming you're on Windows 2000 or XP, go into "My Computer". On the Tools Menu, click Folder Options . Then, inside of Folder Options, click on "File Types". Scroll down to the .eml extension, and click the "Change" button. Find Outlook.exe and select that. Click OK, then OK again (until you've closed the Folder Options box) and you should be set. As I noted above, .eml files are mainly used by Outlook Express (AFAIK) so they may not open properly in Outlook or any other program for that matter. HTH SignaturePatrick Dickey Smile... Someone out there cares deeply for you. http://update.microsoft.com http://www.microsoft.com/protect http://isc.sans.org http://www.pats-computer-solutions.com Patrick. I followed the directions. Now when I try to open the eml attachment I get an "opening mail attachment" popup asking if I want to "open" or "save" the attachment. I select "open" and a new email window opens with the cursor blinking in the To: box with the message(2).eml(12KB) shown in the Attach... box. I try to open and it repeats to a new email. Any suggestions. > > Why in the name of all mothers of hairy legged children are you OPENING a > > message that you acknowledge appears to be forged??????
