OK, you're gonna have to give us a little more info than that. For starters, what email client or internet browser are you using, and what types of files does it refuse to open?

Oh, and what operating system are you running?

You are probably using the built in mail client, not something through Yahoo! or something like that. I would assume that's the only reason you can't open a .eml as it's a Microsoft extension. You might have to get someone to save the file as something different to read it.
