Trouble Opening Email Attachments......

Hi, I have a Dell computer about 2 years old, Windows XP, Word 2003... A guy
I've been trading info with for a couple years has recently been sending
info as attachments ending with .email ... I'm not able to open them.
I emailed him and said that I could open his .email attachment; he responded
that sometimes you have to click on it a couple times... but when I try I
get an "unknown file type" message. Any suggestions????
Thanks................ <TOM>

Rename the .EMAIL extension to .EML to access the file(s) in Outlook
Express. OE will open .EML files. Or rename the extension to .txt and open
them with Notepad.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
