Opening .eml files in Outlook Express

I recently discontinued using Incredimail and reverted to Outlook Express, having
set OE as my default mail handler. However, when opening an attachment consisting
of a .eml file, this is opened by Incredimail rather than OE. I have tried setting
the "Tools - Folder Options - File Types" in Windows Explorer so that .eml files
are opened by msimn.exe (OE) but all this does is start another OE window and not
open the file in question. How do I set the "file types" so that the file is opened
in OE and not Incredimail?

Please forget this query. By chance I came accross the solution in support.microsoft.com
- it seemed to be well-hidden and didn't show up on numerous searches.
