How to open LETTER file?
The most common problem when using Undeliverable Mail Format is that a specific LETTER is not associated with the program. This causes the file LETTER to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LETTER file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sendmail
In this case, you should first verify that the Sendmail application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sendmail into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file LETTER.
Programs to open LETTER file
Remember to download programs supporting LETTER files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sendmail with LETTER files
If, despite the installed application, the LETTER file does not start in the Sendmail application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LETTER file with the Sendmail application.
Step 3. Update Sendmail to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sendmail program with the Undeliverable Mail Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LETTER file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the LETTER file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LETTER file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected LETTER files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LETTER file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LETTER file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LETTER except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LETTER file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LETTER file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LETTER file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
