Ask EU again: Newsgroup archives



Er...a little more help would be appreciated. A while ago I asked about transferring old umra messages from OE to Thunderbird. Windows & will only open them in Windows Live Mail no matter how I set the defaults.

I have discovered that OE saved newsgroup messages with the suffix .nws whereas Thunderbird saves them as .eml. I have tried to associate TB as the default program for .nws files but the "Browse" function doesn't bring it up as a possibility.

Do I have to convert them from .nws to .eml in order to open them in Thunderbird, and if so how can I do it (if at all?)
