So anyway, Don added the ability to preview .eml and .msg files, but whenever I click on one of those files I get the usual "Do you want to pen or save this file?" popup box. Obviously, I don't want any of these, and I can set this behavior somewhere, but where?
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great
Thanks.

Previewing .eml and .msg files
Used to update to the latest beta every day. Now I have children instead…

Did you find a solution to this in the meantime?lukescammell wrote:So anyway, Don added the ability to preview .eml and .msg files, but whenever I click on one of those files I get the usual "Do you want to pen or save this file?" popup box.

(I did not have to do anything here; it just worked)

Afraid not.
I went to open a .msg file with IE7 as the popup window I was getting looked like one of the ones you get when you try and run a file from IE... anyway, I got the same popup and ticked the "do this everytime" or whatever it's called and selected "Open". From IE this opened the .msg file in a normal Outlook window, so now, when I have Preview on in XY and select (keyb or mouse) a .msg file, it automatically opens it in a new Outlook window.
Kinda strange huh?
I wonder if this is a difference between .eml and .msg?
/me goes and tries it on a few .eml files he's saved from TBird (incidentally, I get the old "can't drop text" when I try and drag&drop an email from TBird, this is strange as I can't drag&drop emails from TBird into WE at all anyway...).
Edit: .eml files saved from TBird work just fine with the preview, this must be an Outlook thing...
