I have some .eml files created by Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail. They now show as TB files since TB is now the default email program. TB is set as default program to open ,eml files. I no longer have Outlook Express/Windows Live Mail on my PC.

When I click on any of these .eml files nothing happens at all. File doesn't open, and no error messages of any kind either.

How can I open these files?

When I said "click" I meant "double click". I was double clicking the files, but they did not open.

But now a miracle seems to have happened. The files now do open when I double-click on them.

I am not a novice PC user. Once upon a time I was an expert programmer. I do know the difference between "click" and "double-click". My PC is set to open files only on double-clicking. I have been double-clicking the files to open them for ages. So, this is definitely a miracle.

In any case, thank you so much Matt!
