Outlook Express Template help.

[INFLICT]

Greetings:

I have created several Outlook Express templates and I keep them on my desktop. They are eml files and I'm using XP pro with oe version 6 with SP2 running. The templates worked fine until 2 days ago when I clicked on the template icon and it opened up to an e-mail that had no send button and was not able to be modified. It seemed as if the e-mail was sent already. (In other words the To, BCC, and CC fields are all greyed out just the same as if you go to your sent mail box and then view an old mail that was sent already) When you double click on the eml file it should open up so you can enter an e-mail address and click send. This file will open up in OE but then it will not allow me to modify or send the e-mail. Right now my only fix is to press the forward button and then delete anything the forward button creates (ie: the letters FW: in the subject area) and then send the e-mail. Technically I could continue to do that but what a major hassle as I send e-mail frequently every day. If you know how to resolve this issue any assistance would be appreciated. We have an IMAP e-mail server though I don't think that has anything to do with it. Thanks
