Opening Outlook Express from VB.NET

Hi

My VB.NET software is simply keeping a reference to certain EML file
locations created by Outlook Express. When a user double-clicks a
specific EML file from my grid, I'd like Outlook Express to start and
display the email.

I understand that you cannot automate OE in the same way as you can
Outlook, therefore does anyone know the best way to achieve this?

Thanks
Lee
