Is there an Email reader for *.email attachment?

I have gotten an email attachment in my hotmail email that I cannot read. It has an .email file name. I have Win2000 and 6.0 IE. Does someone know the program I need to read this email. Preferably a free one. Thanks.

outlook express will read them, although you might have to rename it to *.eml. it comes with windows

Welcome to TechIMO HTITech,

Like Originel said it can be read by Outlook Express and its usually when someone who has Outlook Express forwards an email. Thats the only time I have seen them created.

Thank you originel and Undeadlord. I tried Outlook Express (I had the attachments part turned off) and can read the text, but it has a part that I think is a picture which I still cannot read. I copied part of it and it looks like this:

It seems to be in an html file, but I cannot open it in IE. The person who sent the email uses msn, and it was forwarded several times.

Thanks for any info.

hmmm...that's actually very interesting looking. it's not a binary file, it's definitely ascii text (which means its not a picture). i don't know what it is tho, maybe a hash or seed? anyways i don't think it's important

I think and this is a big think from my Usenet days, that, that is a UUEncode or something like that, basically another way of encoding data for email transfer, one I never understood how to work.

If you take all of that gobbledy-gook, and move it over to a text file(.txt) then download this program and have it convert it. You'll know if it's a UUEncode file or not.

HTH,

Dave
