If anyone can shed light on this, my newest computer problem, I'd appreciate it. Suddenly, I'm no longer able to "see" certain emails. The ones I can't seem to open have the .eml extension and are attachments to the email. When I open them, I get a "no preview available". If I drag the attachment off Outlook Express onto the desktop, then right click, choose "open with" and select Outlook Express, it'll work. Obviously a setting somewhere has been altered. Anyone have any ideas? I went into tools/options and found nothing amiss.
