How do I set the file associaation for the .EMAIL file extension.
XP SP2 Thanks..............Al

Do a Shift | Right click on the .email (or .eml) file and then choose Open
With and then select OE as the program (msimn.exe). If it works then do it
again and check the box that says "Always open with . . ."

Shift|Right click on .EMAIL file only produces the following choices:
Open,Print,Save as & Save all There is no Open With choice.

A .email (or .ema) or .ezm file is an alternate file extension for an
..EML file. One option is to save the attachment, then rename with an
..EML file name.

Or you can create a file association for .email, .ema or .ezm files.

You can get to File Associations via:
- My Computer
- View (Win95/98/NT4/Me) or Tools (Win2000 or WinXP) menu
- Folder Options (or Options)
- File Types
- New Type
- New
- Action: OPEN

The application used needs to be:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /eml:%1

Content Type (MIME) should be:
message/rfc822
