Bij mij opent hij met Firefox en met Thunderbird. Zou met IE ook moeten kunnen openen.
Dit staat erin:
Recently a patch (http://support.microsoft
.com/kb/978542) was released that addressed a security issue in Win
dows Mail. Those using Windows Mail in Windows 7 found that Windows Mail
no longer functioned properly, as they had hacked the program by replaci
ng the msoe.dll file with one from Vista, thereby de-crippling Windows Ma
il so it would then function as client application. When the update was
applied, the hacked msoe.dll was replaced by a new Windows 7 version of t
he dll, which again crippled Windows Mail.
The obvious solution was to replace the dll with the Vista dll again, whi
ch then restored the functionality. However, replacing the Win7 patched
dll with the Vista unpatched dll, resorts in ther user being subject to t
he security vulnerability. The user would be more likely to have protect
ion against the vulnerability, if they used the patched Vista msoe.dll (a
lthough there is no guarantee that that version will in fact protect in W
in7, as the scenario is untested).
Some have posted links to non-Microsoft websites in order for those who w
ish to obtain the patched Vista versions of the msoe.dll. However, one c
an question the security of such websites and the files they provide as w
ell as consider that Microsoft does not support distribution of its dlls.
Consequently, it is best if the user obtains the patched dlls from Micros
oft directly. For the given KB article referenced above, the files can
be downloaded here:

To extract the dlls from the downloaded files see:
http://support.microsoft
.com/kb/928636
In the future, this situation will occur everytime Windows Mail is patche
d in Windows 7, as msoe.dll will be replaced each time. So in the future
, anyone who is hacking Windows 7 by replacing msoe.dll from Vista, will
continue to have to get the patched version of the Vista dll and replace
it, as in this situation.
