I still want to be sure we're talking apples to apples. When you right click, you have the option to use Win.rar...........that simply is a option to compress, or uncompresss the dbx file. I don't believe it will allow you to "read" the dbx file. You still need a separate program to do that. What program was used to create the dbx file.....what e-mail program? Use that program to read them.........or import the files into your current e-mail program if it is the same that was used to create the dbx file. That make sense to you?
