Just wanted to say thanks, I have an old email archiving program that produces .emm files and by changing the file association to your app it saves me maintaining outlook express.

Top util, thanks again.

Hi Tommy, I must say when I came across this I thought all my problems were solved and finally that last nail in the exchange/outlook coffin was in place! - However on greater use of the feature im finding a few (i wont say bugs) problems that I think are worthwhile mentioning

1) The msg being left in the "Work In Progress" folder offers a few support problems:
a) user will complain they have an unexpected copy of an email (which one is the original? will they save it twice?)
b) it uses up the mailbox quota and requires the user to clean up (thats hard enough getting them to do already)

2) When opening a 2nd saved to 'internet mail' message which has been saved as an .eml it opens the message over the top of the 1st message - it appears to display HTML content in my case and is very confusing to the average user, not ideal if you want to open many emails saved out in the past and collate information from each.

So in summary its definately a step in the right direction but at this time its not a robust enough tool to be used in a production environment such as my workplace - oh well better get back to my exchange plan - if only Novell would just give this functionality out of the box with GW !

Just what I was looking for!
I have however found a little nag.
When you open a saved EML message, and you have selected a shared folder in GroupWise, the correct message is put in the Work In Progress folder, but another message (from within GroupWise) is opened.
If you select any other folder (that is not shared) within GroupWise, everything works fine!

Hope you can duplicate this and find a solution.

Hi Tommy,

Thanksl !
Any new versions on the horizon ?
Same comments as above when trying to open more than one at a time, and the Work in progress folder

It works well, changing the association. But now I need to change the association back. How to do so? Thanks!
