It's been quite some time since I used OE but iirc *.email was used for exported email messages.
Have you tried double clicking on the file and upon seeing the dialog box 'Windows cannot open this file' then choose Select a
program from the list, click the option to always use this program and browse to wlmail.exe to associate *.email with the WLM
executable ?
Even if adding an extension by assigning it to WLM in Vista, any files received with an *.email extension from anyone should be
scanned with a capable AV program since the *.email extension was used to distribute a virus or worm.
