Any ideas as to why the following comes up for forwarded emails?  Most attachments seem to come through ok, just the *.eml ones are giving a problem from what I can see.

Are you getting it when you send e-mails to an account on Charottlezweb or someone else? If you are sending it to someone else, then their server seems to be blocking the .eml extension.

Also, the .eml is the format that Outlook uses when you have it setup to attach forwarded e-mails rather than include them inline. So if it's an e-mail you're trying to send to someone then change that setting.

EDIT: Upon further research, looks like the .eml is a format used by Microsoft Outlook Express, Windows Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird. Not Outlook, sorry. :-[ Changing the forward method still applies though.

I was going to say something similar - the only time I've personally seen that is when I've saved an email to my machine and attached it as an actual attachment vs. just forwarding it inline (to where it's displayed in the message as opposed to an attachment icon).

Is this what you're referring to or something else?
