- File Association
- Posted by Bob H on May 9th, 2005
Received an E-Mail in OE (XP) that has an attachment .MSG. It will not open
and wants a file association and I cannot find one. Any ideas?

Could be someone just decided to name the extension MSG.
Open NotePad and drag and drop the attachment into it, if you can read
it no problem it's a text file; otherwise look at the very top line it
will tell you what type of file it is. (jeff=Jpg MZ=dos executable,
and so on)

Do you have Outlook installed so you can read the .msg file? If not,
tell your sender to stop using Rich-Text Format for their e-mails (i.e.,
switch to HTML or plain-text format) or to change the the option to
convert from RTF to HTML when sending to an Internet recipient (i.e.,
someone outside their Exchange-Outlook organization). They are using
Outlook and sending in Rich-Text format or attaching the .msg file (an
item, like e-mail, calendar, etc.) and are using Outlook and probably
going through an Exchange server. It is the sender's fault.

..MSG is the defaul extension for a Microsoft Outlook mail message that has
been saved or inserted into another message. If you don't have Outlook
installed (note, that's Outlook, as in part of Office, not Outlook Express)
then I don't think you'll be able to read it.
