Do you have speed issues?
First check your registry for invalid entries.

Notes about the EML file extension:

Incorrect file associations could be the result of underlying issues within your PC system. As such it is highly recommended to scan your PC for invalid registry entries, unused processes and other unfavourable system settings to identify slowdown issues.

The EML file type is primarily associated with 'Outlook Express' by Microsoft Corporation.

Note: .EML files are used by other E-mail clients as well.

Note: .EML files with "funny" names in multiple folders implies the Nimda worm.

OE removes access to attachments using this file extension. However, using forward on the tool bar in OE the attachment shows as an envelope that if clicked opens the attachment (use caution if you do this, it could be a worm). Others have reported that importing the message into Outlook from Outlook Express works to make the attachment files visible.

If none of these methods work, then see the FILExt FAQ on handling EML files outside of an E-mail client.

Note: This file type can become infected and should be carefully scanned if someone sends you a file with this extension.
