*UNFORTUNATE RESULT*
Every time I select a file with the ".eml" extension I get stuck in an
infinite loop of opening instances of SeaMonkey. Must then use
Ctrl-Alt-Delete to escape and shutdown.

What do I do now?

Could you have inadvertently established SeaMonkey as the "helper
application" for .eml files? If so, SeaMonkey would call SeaMonkey would
call SeaMonkey..., right?

See under Edit | Preferences | Browser | Helper Applications.


That's just what I did [dang it ;]
I guess what I'm looking for is an email VIEW ONLY program.

Why not Save As and choose .txt file?  That's what I do with
emails/news posts that I want to save.  Click and they open in my
default text editor.

On my system, SM's default message format is .eml, so when I saved this message that way and double-clicked it, it opened in SM.

Not sure what would happen with an .eml file when SM has itself as a helper app, but .txt should work fine.
