How to open .msg outlook file in IE

... hello, How to open .msg outlook file in IE or cause IE to open outlook to open my linked file from the web --- REPLY SEPARATOR --- (only needed due to OP using quoted-printable for a Usenet post) A .msg file does itself use MIME. It may contain parts within the message which delineate MIME parts but the file itself is not a MIME formatted file. The .msg filetype should already be associated with Outlook (look under Folder Options - File Types) for the Open action. Of course, if you don't have Outlook open then you may need to associate the .msg filetype to another mail application, like OE, which can also read MSG formatted files. Microsoft's e-mail clients know how to open .msg files. I don't know if whatever e-mail client your readers use also support the ..msg filetype. The MSG format is a proprietary format by Microsoft (see http://www.fileformat.info/format/outlookmsg/) so not every e-mail client can read it. The file itself if a text file but contains tags within to convey content. Maybe you should be using the .eml format which is just text. If your e-mail client doesn't let you export as EML type, export as a ..txt file (although you may lose most of the headers in the text copy). If you don't want to export as .txt or .eml format, have the reader open your ..eml file in Notepad. With a Microsoft e-mail client installed, the .eml file will already be associated with the Microsoft e-mail client; otherwise, the reader will need to check what they have associated with this filetype, if anything. Remember that an .htm[l] file is just a text file, too, and its the tags that get interpreted to render the content that gets presented within a browser. MSG files are just another compound filetype where there are tags used within it to convey additional information on how to present that content, but it is just a text file. I don't know what is the MSG file format specification. You might want to ask over at www.outlookcode.com as those folks might be familiar with the spec or where to find it. -- __________________________________________________ Post replies to the newsgroup.
