Most likely, you have set your Explorer options to show file extensions (as most any sane person would).
My standard Windows settings are to hide extensions for known file-types -- ignoring questions of sanity, it is prettier and I generally don't run any program I am unfamiliar with regardless of file extension. If there is a separate option for changing this behaviour only within Outlook Express, I am not even aware it exists.
The install default is to hide them (along with opening each folder in a new window and not showing the full path in the title bar, all of which I find most annoying), which is why the average sofa spud luser is apt to fall for these tricks. -- Roy M.
