Hi, all.
I have downloaded Windows Live Mail just for tasting, not decided to use it
as the default email client application yet. But after I have installed it,
all my previous .EML files as OutlookExpress Model Files have been changed
to "Windows Live mail mail message", and it is hard to restore to the
original mode, I changed them to .EML files, but can not open them in OE,
Would you please help me?

1a. Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components > Outlook Express
(check to make OE available again)
1b. Set Program Access and Defaults: Configure OE to be the default for
E-mail.
2. Create a new desktop folder named "From WLMail".
3. Place copies of the EML files from Windows Live Mail that you want to
keep in the folder you created in #1 above.
4. Create a new local folder in OE named "Old WLMail" and open OE to this
folder.
5. Right-click on one of the EML files > Open with > Select "Outlook
Express" (MSIMN.EXE).
6. Drag and drop the EML files from the new desktop folder into the open OE
folder.
7. Uninstall Windows Live Mail.
