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.
