Default trouble with displaying of mhtml content


IE would be the engine used to run Windows Mail,
so, yes, I suspect the same reason for both
problems.

WM stores emails as .eml files, not as MHTML or MHT.
The difference is subtle. .EML files will not run in IE.
You can save emails manually as either extension and
even as plain .txt.

Here is what I would do, if I had the problem.

1) If anti-virus email scanning is turned on - look for this
heading:
FIRST:
Antivirus and other Security Programs with Windows Mail
'Windows Mail problems - Vista Forums'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/62...-problems.html)


2) Backup all existing emails/information in that user's
WM account.

You can do it all manually, see Problem 2 - Look for
this heading:
Problem 2:
How to Backup and Reset Windows Mail
'Windows Mail problems - Vista Forums'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/62...-problems.html)

Or you could use this freeware program:
Windows Mail Backup Free - StaticBackup Inc.:
'Windows Mail Backup Free - StaticBackup Inc.'
(http://www.staticbackup.com/windows-mail-backup-free/)

3) Then make a new user account.

User Account - Create - Vista Forums:
'User Account - Create - Vista Forums'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/93...nt-create.html)

If you verify everything works in WM correctly, you
might want to delete the old account.

these emails you want to save as MHT files and
you have the problem from one user account?


Hi VistaRookie!

First of them: WinMail isn't able to display content of mails in one
user
account / profile anymore.

During my way to find the reason I notice that IE8 also have trouble
to
display *.mhtml files. (I suppose exactly the same reason for both
problems.)
