Sven,
I had saved the emails from Outlook Express, with the "Save As" option in
the menu. Evidently, I somehow changed the file extension.....maybe because
I often change the wording of how it's going to save, so that I can find
things more easily. In Win98SE, I never had to worry about the extension,
because it knew what extension needed to be used for emails from Outlook
Exp. So I could just put in whatever wording I wanted, and it would
automatically save as an eml.....or whatever that extension was in Win98SE.
I guess that doesn't work in XP.
You were correct, all I had to do was rename the files and add the .eml
extension, and now they're fine. Thanks!
