.eml attachments do not open
When I receive email with .eml attachments I cannot double click and open the attachment.
Here are the facts:
Outlook 2003 using a pop setup
Running on Win XP pro SP2 fully patched
Symantec AV scans come back clean
Already attempted to reregister .eml files to outlook and/or outlook express.
