Email message attachments to a received windows mail message

Hey, I searched past posts and couldn't find an answer.

I receive an email message from someone that has an email attached to it. I cannot open it because an error says the file does not have a program associated with it. It says to create an association in the control panel but I cannot find a .email file type in it.

I can't right click to get an open with either..any help would be great.

Thanks

Click on the paperclip at the top right corner of the message, and save the
..email file. Then right click on the file, and you'll get a chance to say
what
program to open that type of files with.

Thank you, that worked. I receive quite a few of these types of attachments. I was hoping there was a way to get them to work right out of the email.

You're welcome. Notice that you also get the chance to say always
use the same program to open them, which may help you open them
inside Windows Mail.
