How can I get Outlook 2007 to read attachments and .eml files?

I'm a web developer, working from home.  Many of my clients tell me through programs such as Yahoo Messenger and Skype conversation.  Often, they send messages to an end-user for me on yahoo or Skype which are .eml files.  These files describe bugs or other mistakes which experienced end users.

I don't understand why I can't read the 'eml' files in Outlook 2007.  Currently, windows 2007 wants to use windows live mail to open these files.

Is there an add-on third party who will give this feature in Outlook 2007?

I solved the problem for users of 64-bit Windows 7 and Vista 64-bit users

(1) Open regedit.exe (the registry editor)
2) access HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message WLMail\shell\open\command
(3) change "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /eml:%1 to "C:\Program Files (x 86)" \Microsoft Office\Office12\OUTLOOK. "» EXE' /eml '%1' (don't forget the quotes!)
(4) restart your computer

In this way, windows thinks that "Windows Live Mail" is still the default program to open .eml files.  However, we have changed the registry so that instead of open Windows Live Mail, we open OUTLOOK. EXE.  What I mean is that if you open Control Panel, click default programs associated with Windows Live Mail .eml files, we have decked out the registry so that it will open opportunities-even if Windows has always said that it is associated with Windows Live.  Confusing, I know.

The best analogy are these old commercials where "we secretly changed detergent Lisa's favorite new all temperature Cheer!  In this case we secretly changed Windows Live Mail with Outlook when it comes to open .eml attachments.

In any case, this tip worked for me.  I can open the .eml simply files by double-clicking them.  You can always change things if you decide to upgrade to Windows Live.
