Windows 10: Cannot download .EML-files from Teams chat

HiWe are sending emails to a team channel. The emails appears in the team chat correctly. When we click "Display original email" to download the eml-file, nothing happens. This was working one week ago, but not any longer. What could be the reason for this?

file associations and eml files

There was some program which opened .eml tutorial files before file association was changed.

Is that program listed in Open with submenu of Context menu for .eml files? (Open a folder with your .eml files with File Explorer, right click an .eml file, select
Open with in context menu, and see the 'Open with' submenu).

If the program is listed:

Select Choose another app in Open with submenu.

In How do you open such file list/dialog, select the desired program, check 'Always use this app to open .eml files' checkbox, and press 'OK' screen button.

 

EML (.eml) Files

Hi. DavidWills1

My name is Anthony, an Independent Advisor trying to help.

In that case, although other web browsers can open the MHT files, Internet Explorer is the only one that will give you the right format. This method will not allow you to download any attachments.

• If you have hidden file extensions, activate them. In Windows 10, 8, you can check the "File name extensions" box on the "View" tab of any Explorer window. In previous versions of Windows, you must open the control panel and select “Folder Options”. Click
the "View" tab and disable "Hide file extensions for known file types."

• Right-click on the EML file and select "Rename."

• Delete the .eml extension and replace it with .mht. Windows will warn you that this can cause problems with the file. Confirm that you want to change the extension.

• Open the file in Internet Explorer. Usually, this will be the default program for MHT files. You can right-click on the file, select “Open with” and then select Internet Explorer from the list. Internet Explorer will display the MHT file in virtually the
same format in which the EML file will appear in an email client.

Best Regards.

How do I change the default setting for .eml files?

Try rt clicking an eml file, Open With, and carefully follow through the several steps to assign your chosen program completely as default.

Also try



Set this program as default (but in your case for Mailbird). (Or the equivalent in Settings)

Note that eml files are not a default file type in Windows (i.e. not in the relevant Tutorial list here Restore Default File Type Associations in Windows 10 Windows 10 Customization Tutorials ) i.e. teh file type has to be established by a program.

Also make sure this is set correctly:



(or the equivalent in the Control Panel)
