eml Extension

[Javad]

I don't know if here is the right place for this question or not.
I have made and published a web project using FrontPage2000. In my project
there are some links to some eml files.
When I publish the project and I go to the related Internet address to view
my page, the page seems to work well, but when I click on one of my links, I
expect the computer to start downloading that eml file, but it only shows me
the text of eml file using Internet Explorer. If I r-click on the link and
select "Save as", it asks me the location and then saves the file with htm
extension. I want it to save those files in eml format. How can I do that?
Thanks

there are ways to programmatically force the file as a download which
require server side scripting.

you could zip the files which would force them to download.

one of the best simple ways I've seen is where a graphic relating to the
file type (I guess an email in your case) has the instructions "right click
and chose save target as" written on it.
this way you've given your instructions, gotten an element on the page which
can be linked to the file and you only need one image which you can use for
unlimited links.

well,
which way that I previously described makes the most sense? I'll give you
explicit instructions on that one.

I agree with you. I've seen some pretty nice sites use that method for
providing "downloads" rather than having the target open in the user's
player, whichever player that may be.

Good luck with your project.
