Is there any simple way to make Windows 7 and 8 open saved emails, .eml

Cecil, have you tried Tools->Import... and selecting "Mail"??
As I mentioned, there is no problem opening the .eml file from the
Seamonkey Mail file menu.
My wife wants to be able to double-click the file in a file browser,
such as Windows Explorer, and have it display in Seamonkey Mail.
Seamonkey mail needs to set in Windows 7 and 8 as the default program to
open .eml files. I'm just not sure how to do that, as Windows sees
Seamonkey as a single program rather than a browser and a mail client.
That results in Windows trying to open the .eml file in Seamonkey
browser, which shows only a blank window.
I assume the computer in question has at least one .eml file and you
know where it is.
In Windows 7, open Windows Explorer and navigate to an .eml file
(without trying to open it). Right-click the file name and choose "Open
with...," then "Choose default program." Choose SeaMonkey and be sure
the box is checked at the bottom, "Always use the selected program to
open this kind of file." Click OK.
From then on, whenever Windows tries to open an .eml file, it will use
SeaMonkey.
