The installation of XP patch KB911567 prevents an .eml stationery from being opened as an unsent message. In other words: it cannot be sent. There is now a patch. Click HERE for more information and installation. 

EML files

My stationery is for use with Outlook Express 5.5 and higher and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

If you have upgraded to Outlook Express version 6.0,  there are a few steps that need to be done to be able to see the stationery properly:

• open Outlook Express 6

• go in the Menu to  "Tools" /  "Options"

• select the Security Tab

• change the options from  "restricted zone" to  "Internet zone"  (less secure but more functional)

• choose  OK
  
  You are now able to view all stationery made for Outlook Express 5+ and higher. 

My stationery will download in .eml format. This format comes in one easy-to-use file instead of a zip with midi, image(s), html.  
This saves time, space on your HD and confusion. No more images with the same name in your folder.

Unzip the downloaded .eml zipfile to a folder of your choice. You can rename it and easily remove it by  deleting the "envelope". When you want to use it, just click on the envelope and the stationery opens up in OE and is ready to use and re-use.

Many stationery pieces do not always display correctly when you open them to write your message. This does not mean that they do not work correctly.
Test the stationery to see how it looks like when sent. 

• have your "New Message" window open

• select  "View"  (toolbar near the top of your screen)

• from the drop-down menu,  select  "Source Edit" this will give you three option tags at the bottom of the window

• select  "Preview" and it will let you see what your stationery is going  to look like when the other person  receives it

• go back to the first tab  "Edit"  because this is the tab to compose  and send your message.
