somehow, my system has lost the file association for .eml attachments. so I have been trying to recreate the association. the problem is that I dont know the necessary info to put in all the fields.

running Outlook Express 5.5 on a Windows 98se machine, with IE 6 as my primary browser.

so what I need to know is what MIME content type it should be (text/html, text/plain, etc) as well as the default extension for content type.

Im pretty sure I should be using "open" as the action to be performed and IE as the application to perform said action.

so, can anyone walk me through this? I've been trying various combinations, but havent found the right one yet.
