Thanks, Joe G4 iBook. 1.2 gh, 1.25 ram Hello Joe, A file with an .eml extension is something created by Microsoft Outlook Express when a message is saved. It is most commonly seen as an attachment in your e-mail when someone forwards a message to you. Are you sure these are Video Files? These files are commonly worm carriers so check with the person who sent it to you. If you are absolutely sure they are safe to open, if you have Microsoft Entourage on your iBook that should be able to open them. Sometimes .eml files are just standard text with a different extension, so you may be able to get it to open with Text Edit. Launch Text Edit and open the file, or select Text Edit as the application to use. But, I would make sure you know what this file is before you attempt to open it!

Hi Joe, This is not a video file. It's a forwarded message from outlook. http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/eml Regards Alex On 6 Aug 2009, at 01:17, Joe Mastrella wrote: I have been receiving I believe video files with the extension .eml.

Hi Alex Joe, They can be pictures or short video clips inside a file with an .eml file extension. Cheers, Ronni On 06/08/2009, at 8:55 AM, Alexander Hartner wrote: Hi Joe, This is not a video file.
