Early on in this it was suggested the OE wasn't very good and I should try
Thunderbird and so I did. I downloaded it and have set it so that it will
open the saved emails and it works not only on new ones but the ones that I
was trying to open when I started this.
The only problem I am having right now with Tbird is that I can't seem to be
able to download a dictionary so the spell check doesn't work.
Thanks to all that tried to give me a hand with this.
Cheers,
Bud

with about the same info as Twayne and I thank them both. I will go into
the situation in as much detail as I can but will not know all of the
proper
terminology.
After installing OOo2.4 which replaced 2.3, I noticed that the icon on my
saved emails had changed to the OOo Writer icon but the icon was not as
sharp. When I tried to open a saved email a ASCII Filter Options opened,
Character set is Western Europe, clicking OK opens a Writer document
with
many pages of letters and numbers (a short email message come out as four
pages)
Again, no clue as to OE as I've never used it. However, it appears that
OE 5 and above use .dbx file format. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlook_Express
Some of these may, or may not help:

Good luck.
Once you do get that sorted out, it would be interesting to find out
why/how your OE messages became associated with OOo in the first place.
What is the file extension on the messages that you are trying to open?
