i dont get it... i went into folder options on the xp box and added
the file extension to the list .... with no luck. i'm puzzled.
I may just be "fishing" here, but that .eml extension
is an MS-Outlook or MS-Outlook Express extension. So if you have Outlook/Express on the W2k PC but not the XP PC its not going to open on XP. You'll need to install Outlook or Outlook Express.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
