When uploading a file, with extension ".msg" (Outlook E-mail File), the FileUpload UI Element does not show the correct MIME type. In this case, the expected MIME type is "application/vnd.ms-outlook", however the UI element shows the MIME type as "application/octet-stream", which is the generic file type.
The function used to detect MIME type is GetFileMimeType() from MimeType module and for .msg file, it always returns MIME type as "application/octet-stream". Also configured MIME type mapping for .MSG file in IIS server.
Hi Nilam,

I could suggest you a work-around i.e. Using JavaScript, you can get the uploaded File type, referring to the file extesnion as mentioned-below.
JavaScript Snippet:
var control = document.querySelector("#" + $parameters.UploadWidgetId + " > input"); if (window.FileReader && window.Blob) { // All the File APIs are supported. control.addEventListener("change", function(event) { // When the control has changed, there are new files var files = control.files; var i = 0, fileType = ""; if (files[i].name !== null && files[i].name !== undefined && files[i].name.endsWith(".msg")) { fileType = "application/vnd.ms-outlook"; } $actions.SetFileInfo(files[i].type || fileType, files[i].size); }, false); } else { // File and Blob are not supported }
See this sample screen UploadWidget_MSG Demo
Refer to the attached .oml file
Hope this helps you!
Kind regards,
