Patty did you say which version of outlook express? I don't use it
personally, but here is a fix from 2004 :
When you attempt to open an .eml attachment in Outlook Express, either the
file may not open or you may receive an error message that states that there
is no program associated with this file type.
This behavior can occur if an installed third-party e-mail program has an
associated .eml file type.
To resolve this behavior, either run the Msimn executable file with the
/reg option to force Outlook Express to re-register its file types, or
re-register the .eml file type in My Computer.
To run the Msimn executable file with the /reg option:
1. Quit Outlook Express. 2. Click Start, and then click Run. 3. In the
Open box, type msimn /reg, and then click OK.
To re-register the .eml file type in My Computer:
1. On the desktop, double-click My Computer. 2. On the Tools menu, click
Folder Options. 3. Click the File Types tab. 4. Under Registered file
types, click EML Outlook Express Mail Message, and then click Advanced. 5.
Click Open, and then click Edit. 6. Type the following single line in the
Application used to perform action box: "C:\Program Files\Outlook
Express\MSIMN.EXE"
/eml:%1 7.
Click OK, click OK again, and then click Close.

Hi Rupert. For some reason every attachment I receive, no matter who sends
it, come in the .eml form. This is a recent development, say within the past
two weeks or so. This makes me think it is a problem specific to Outlook
Express. I tired the path that you sent, and it took me back to my e-mail
inbox. At this point in time, I am not sure what else to try! Maybe kicking
the computer??? LOL.
Patty :o)
