Have been receiving attachments from trusted friends that have .eml file extensions and they won't open. The Firefox Application list doesn't include this. Any idea how to open them?

.eml files are e-mail files. You need an e-mail program to open them.

Thunderbird is my program of choice, but there are many others (both online and stand-alone on your PC.).

Thanks, but I just found out that .eml is an Outlook Express compression program and I'm now set up to have Outlook Express open them.
