I'm using OpenOffice 2.1 and somehow, perhaps via browser association/identification it converted all of my saved e-mail messages from .eml format to open document format, causing the loss of all sender and receiver identification and dates loss. How do I convert all these messages back to .eml format and retrieve the historical data associated with each file?
I don't really understand what has happened here. Usually one doesn't
have many .eml files. In Outlook, e-mails are normally stored in a
single large (.pst) file; in Outlook Express they are stored in one .dbx
file per folder. The only time I ever get .eml files is if someone sends
me an e-mail as an attachment and I decide to save it for some reason.
I'd hazard a guess, but it is a guess, that to fix your problem you need
to change the "File Association" for .eml files from OpenOffice back to
Outlook or Outlook Express (whichever is appropriate for you). To do
that, right click on one of the files and choose "Open With" from the
menu. Next, choose Outlook (or Outlook Express) from the list of
suggested programs. If it isn't in the list, use the Browse button to
find it and then choose it. Make sure you select the "Always use this
program" box before clicking OK.
