im having a little problem with the email attachment format
from the emails espace used in the cases espace
when an email is uploaded as an email
its format is *.eml
which cant be opened using outlook
as i seem to need a *.msg file
i tried simply changing the filename ending to *.msg
but that didnt work
does anyone know a clean way to creating a *.msg attachment, instead of *.eml?
thank you very much!

Hi Manuel, there's this wonderful tool called Google, which can provide you with about any answer. See e.g.
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/354
for how to open eml in Outlook, or
http://www.emltopst.com/convert-eml-to-msg/
for how to convert eml to msg (or simply google for "convert eml to msg" (without the quotes).

Hi Manuel
I see this as a Microsoft OutLook issue, since the .eml format is the standard email message format. The fact that Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 doesn't supported it is something that should be addressed by Microsoft. Ultimately, if you need a server-side solution, this means that you need to build your own .msg format message.
You can do this by using a 3rd party tool like
Aspose.net
, or you can code you own converted based on Microsoft specification document below:

By the way, for a client side solution, microsoft also has a fix for that, available at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956693
. This will allow outlook to open .eml files.
Cheers
