Hi All, Hope this is not too much off topic, but I got Win-7 on a ne notebook, and all seemed OK - I could read digests just fine, and the attachments opened perfectly. I'm using Windows Live mail. Suddenly, they won't open, and I am told there is no program known to open them, and to create an association for .eml files. I tried going to file associations, but there seems to be no way to add .eml to the list. Anyone got any ideas please As this may apply to us all sooner or later, I hope the list admin won't mind short replies on the list. Thanks Pickard Trepess from the wilds of Pocos de Caldos in Brazil, wondering if the ash will settle so I can get home !
