I use gmail and netmail (earthlink) for email

these file types never display, (code only -no graphics)

OS X 10.4.11

Any clues?

Googling ".eml" gives this:

EML File Extension - Open .EML files
E-mail message saved by Microsoft Outlook or other e-mail program; may also contain an e-mail attachment, or file sent with the message.
Program(s) that open eml files Mac OS Microsoft Entourage

And also this:
Extension: EML
Outlook Express Electronic Mail
.EML files are used by other E-mail clients as well. Note: .EML files with "funny" names in multiple folders implies the Nimda worm.
