I have finished making the program to save the files with the .txt extension, but then I need to change the extension after downloading them, because if I press enter on a .eml file in Windows, it is opened in an Outlook Express Window where all the To: From: Date: Subject: fields are nice arranged and I can read the message easily. I have also tried to put some garbage in an .eml file to see if this can fool Internet Explorer, but it doesn't want to work this way either. I guess that IE recognizes that extension and it is made to ignore those files... who knows.
