Opening an eml file in "send" mode

If I have an *.eml file, and I open it (by double clicking upon it) it opens
it in outlook express, but as a file to forward or reply to.

How can I have outlook express open it as though it were an email I had just
created, and was going to send (i.e. not in reply or forward mode?) -Ike

This is a template you created?

Patch KB918766:

This patch addresses some of the issues that were caused by KB911567.

Address Book problems.
Unsent templates appearing as sent.
Manually compacting will now reset the registry counter to Zero in WinXP/SP2
and also sends a copy of your dbx files to the recycle bin as a temporary
backup.

To complete the fix for .eml templates, a registry change is needed. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918766

Tom Koch also has this information at his site, along with a downloadable
Zip file to do the registry change for you. See:
