Opening eml files

[Scott Moore]

I get some people who forward messages and they come as attached EML files.
But when I double click them instead of opening the message in entourage it
opens them in imail. Anyone know how to change that?

Hi Scott!

Drag one of the .eml attachments to your Desktop and then right-click
(or Control-click) it and select Get Info.

In the Open With section, select Open... (even if you see Entourage) and
directly select the Entourage application. Be sure to select the option
to always open with Entourage in the Choose an Application... dialog
window as well as click the Change All... button in the Get Info window.

Hope this helps!

Will Smith. That was very clever. Not only did it solve my eml problem, but
other problems as well (I had several file types misbehaving).

Thanks!
