In this paper, Matlis injective modules are introduced and studied. It is shown that every R-module has a (special) Matlis injective preenvelope over any ring R and every right R-module has a Matlis injective envelope when R is a right Noetherian ring. Moreover, it is shown that every right R-module has an ${\mathcal{F}}^{{\perp}1}$-envelope when R is a right Noetherian ring and $\mathcal{F}$ is a class of injective right R-modules.

For the question "when is E(_RR) a flat left R-module for any ring R?", in this paper, we deal with a class of modules partaking in the hierarchy of injective and cotorsion modules, so-called Harmanci injective modules, which turn out by the motivation of relations among the concepts of injectivity, flatness and cotorsionness. We give some characterizations and properties of this class of modules. It is shown that the class of all Harmanci injective modules is enveloping, and forms a perfect cotorsion theory with the class of modules whose character modules are Matlis injective. For the objective we pursue, we characterize when the injective envelope of a ring as a module over itself is a flat module.

Matlis posed the following question in 1958: if N is a direct summand of a direct sum M of indecomposable injectives, then is N itself a direct sum of indecomposable innjectives\ulcorner It will be proved that the Matlis problem has an affirmative answer when M is a multiplication module, and that a weaker condition then that of M being a multiplication module can be given to module M when M is a countable direct sum of indecomposable injectives.
