How to "create an association in the Set Association Control Panel".

When I try to open certain e-mail messages (files), I am told to "create an association in the Set Association Control Panel.

I can't open these files (e-mails) because I don't know how to perform the task.

How can I do this? Where can I find this control panel?

Why do I sometimes get this message, but not always?
