A .email or .ezm file is an alternate file extension for an .EML file. One option is to
save the attachment, then rename with an .EML file name (as you've done).

Or you can create a file association for .email or .ezm files.

You can get to File Associations via:
 - My Computer
 - View (Win95/98/NT4/Me) or Tools (Win2000 or WinXP) menu
 - Folder Options (or Options)
 - File Types
 - New Type
 - New
 - Action: OPEN

The application used needs to be:
"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE" /eml:%1

Content Type (MIME) should be:
message/rfc822
