Windows version? IE version? Is Windows LIVE Mail installed?

Hi Zd,

Inject the file contents within <pre> tags.

Hi
I am looking for general option, for XP and above, from IE 6 and above, with
and without Windows LIVE.
I will preview saved message inside my app.
Have EML files, and will preview those files in webbrowser control (or any
other which can display it).
I can rename it to MHT, it works fine, but
sometime encoding is not right (it can be different encoding for each EML).

Thank you

EML files should open in Outlook Express, not IE or a browser.

Hi
is there other option?
I mean, I need to see email body inside my app.

Hi Zd,

There is the outlook listview control to view your outlook folders and
launch the outlook.

Inject this js snippet into a web page hosted in your WebBrowser control

document.write('<OBJECT style=\"left:200px\"
classid=\"CLSID:0006F063-0000-0000-C000-000000000046\" id=\"ViewCtlFolder\"
codebase=\"http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/office/outlctlx.CAB#ver=9,0,0,3203\"
tabIndex=\"1\" VIEWASTEXT>');
document.write('<param name=\"Namespace\" value=\"MAPI\">');
document.write('<param name=\"Folder\" value=\"Inbox\">');
document.write('<param name=\"Restriction\" value=\"\">');
document.write('<param name=\"DeferUpdate\" value=\"0\">');
document.write('</OBJECT>');

or you can host the control in a Windows Form. Use CreateObject.

For further tips see the .eml file extension handler entries in your
registry.

If you are writing your own POP server, then that is a different bag of
fish.

Regards.

EML files are associated with Outlook Express, Windows Mail, and Windows
Live Mail, not Outlook (whose messages are MSG format).

Hi
many thanks for you mail.

I am using Outlook ViewCtl for messages display (on left side of my app).
Then (on Selection event) I am saving message to disc.
In that moment I run code which displays saved message in Webbrowser control
(on right or bottom side of my app).
Now, you tell me that I put this code into Webbrowser control.
At first moment, I think that that code will display Inbox Folder?
I will try that but I hope that you understand that I need message
(HTMLBody) of EML?

Hi
Ok, but I am using Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/) to save
Outlook message
to MHT, or EML or HTML ... and to avoid security message.

MHT works OK, but it also includes message header's which I do not need
(From: To: Subject ...)
HTML works OK on Outlook 2007 because it saves images to separate
folder(Outlook 2003 do not do that)
EML is just what I need - without header, but with embeded images, BUT ...
it will not handle encoding on proper way, like MHT do.
Now, I need to find a way that message preview goes fast (if I go to remove
header or go to inject some code in each
message, it slow's down preview)

Repeat after me:

1. An EML file is *not* an Outlook message and will not open in Outlook.

2. An EML file *is* an Outlook /Express/ (or Windows Mail or Windows Live
Mail) message and will open in any of those applications.

3. An Outlook message has an MSG extension.

4. Outlook and Outlook Express are /not/ the same application.

Hi
looks you are working in Microsoft?

I will not open EML file in Outlook. I have that file saved on my HD, and
wil preview that message.

> 2. An EML file *is* an Outlook /Express/ (or Windows Mail or Windows Live

I will not open EML file in Outlook. I have that file saved on my HD, and
wil preview that message.

MS MVPs neither work for nor represent Microsoft.

No one from Microsoft monitors this newsgroup: We're all voluteers.

An EML file will not and cannot open in OL or, I suspect, any application
other than OE, WinMail, or WLMail (at least not in a usable format).

Ok
as you allready understand, I do not need to open EML in Outlook or Outlook
express.
I just need to preview EML message in Webbrowser or some other control -
not in Outlook, not in Outlook Express.
I will preview it inside my app.

Everything works fine if I rename EML to MHT and preview it in Webbrowser,
with:
WebbrowserCtrl.Navigate2("MyMhtFile.mht","")
You can try yourself (rename EML to MHT and open it in Internet Explorer),
or
in Internet Explorer ActiveX control - Shell.Explorer.2

BUT
encoding is not properly displayed if EML contain only text.
