I was forced to have Windows 7 reinstalled and was upgraded from Windows Live Mail 2011 to Windows Live Mail 2012.

"

With Windows Live Mail 2011, if I wanted to save an email  I would click to save file as a "Mail (.eml)" and it would save it in an

email format so that I could reopen it as an email.  With WLM 2012, when I try to save it as a file, all I get is a document

like image which cannot be opened.

Now the only way I can save an email is to copy it all on a Word document and save the header so that I can copy that in

at the top, which is a lot more time consuming.

Also, I will be unable to open all of the past ones that I have saved from my WLM 2011.  I won't even venture to experiment,

as it may ruin them.

Please advise me as to how I can fix WLM 2012 so that I can save my mail as a file "Mail (.eml)" without having this issue.
