It works! That's great, thank you.

But there are a lot of keys related to .eml extension, these are just some of them: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eml] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eml\OpenWithList] "MRUList"="ab" "b"="wlmail.exe" "a"="voyager.exe" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eml\OpenWithProgids] "Microsoft Internet Mail Message WLMail"=hex(0): [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eml\UserChoice] "Progid"="Applications\\voyager.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.eml] "Content Type"="message/rfc822" "CachedFilterIID"="{0563DB41-F538-4B37-A92D-4659049B7766}" "PersistentHandler"="{0563DB41-F538-4B37-A92D-4659049B7766}" @="Microsoft Internet Mail Message WLMail" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.eml\PersistentHandler] @="{0563DB41-F538-4B37-A92D-4659049B7766}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.eml\shellex] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.eml\shellex\{8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}] @="{b9815375-5d7f-4ce2-9245-c9d4da436930}" If I choose "Open with Windows Live Mail", WLM opens and shows the .eml file like it's supposed to do, while "Open with Voyager" results in a new message in Voyager with the .eml file as an attachment. > And I would have thought you wanted to also associate .msg files, > although these seem to be less common than a few years ago.

I didn't think about .msg because it's been a while since I saw the last one, AFAIR. -- Luca - e-mail: p.stevens at libero.it ________________________________________________ Current version is 6.6 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
