do you use outlook express? that is what I use. 
I have a friend with msn. if she sends me an attached e-mail, I have to save it 
to my desktop and change the ending to .eml  in order to read it. A real pain, 
but it works.
 if she just sends me a regular e-mail, it comes in normal to me.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Problem With Opening MSN e-mails


I don't seem to be able to open a lot of the e-mail that comes from people on 
MSN.
The messages have to be downloaded, and they have the title and then ".email" 
following that.  After I download the message and click on the "Open File", a 
message comes up that this is "too large for Notepad to open - would you like 
to use Word Pad to read this file?"  When I say yes, the message comes up all 
garbled up, like it is in code.  I downloaded a decoder quite some time ago 
and it used to work most of the time.  It used to say "file was decoded, do you 
want to open it?" Now, when I right click on the e-mail in my download file 
and say "decode", a message comes up that says "File was decoded".   After it 
says "file was decoded",  it doesn't tell me how to open the e-mail.  I hope 
this makes sense, it's the only way I know to explain it.  Thanks for any help,
Sue
