The edp option to compare only some columns (or ignore program comments) could simplify comparing lists of parts of filenames.
If you can't click on a filename in the compare text, to launch it, will click (or double or triple-click) select it (possibly that'd need full paths enclosed in double quotes?) .. but at worst drag-selecting a whole filepath - while irritating to have to - surely doesn't take too long, especially compared with how long you'll spend looking at such a file once it's been opened?
That changes the problem to needing something convenient somewhere else that you can click on, which will then run code you've supplied.
Or ... if the drag-selected filename always has quotes around it, and if ".eml" is associated with the reader application, just paste the quoted filename into a cmd.exe window & press enter. Windows will then run the fileea, which means do whatever the association is.
(I'd probably use a temporary new toolbar button in my text editor - I've always got a few of its windows open - & have the code associated with that button: grab the clipboard contents, check it is a modest length (& only one line), check it's for a filename, then issue the command to launch the reader for that file. But ... it's a scriptable editor ... & not many people have such a tool.)
I expect you could use AutoIt or AutoHotKey for something like that, if not whatever language you're proficient in. The problem is probably finding a tool that you already have & know, to take advantage of.
