Don't use quote-printable format when submitting posts to Usenet. See the long line above? That is what a lot of Usenet users will see. Outlook Express knows how to read .eml files because they are just text files. The .msg files produced by Outlook are proprietary and only Outlook knows how to read them. Google works. Maybe you'll find something you can download to view those .msg files. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...Bmsg+%2Bviewer Many are shareware or commercialware so you'll have to pay for them. I didn't look too long (since the searching is what YOU should be doing) and the only freebie one that I found was at: http://www.uvviewsoft.com/download.htm Its help says you have to get a TotalCommander plug-in (from another site) so it can read .eml and .msg file. It didn't work after I installed it (in a virtual machine so I could easily get rid of it all) and added the plug-in. WHen I tried to open a .msg file, the plug-in bombed with an exception error. Maybe you'll have better luck with it. Maybe something else in the search is better than this hodgepodge utility. Encryptomatic's MSGviewer worked but it definitely is not free ($50 for Lite, $60 for Pro). You could also install Microsoft's Virtual PC (free) and go to their VHD Catalog site to download the *huge* Windows Vista + Office 2007 Enterprise demo to read your .msg files (during the 30-day trial). |
