I got some mail attachments with suffix ".msg". None of my apps will open that correctly in Leo. To what app do those files belong to?? Rudolf

Thanks, Jared, for your reply. But: The site says it is a text file, but Textedit (Mac text editor) refuses to open the files. Word gives an chaos of characters, Entourage, Mail.app etc. refuses service. What Mac App can open them??

If that doesn't help, try "strings" from the command line and see if it shows you anything useful. If you're not comfy with the command line, you have two options: 1, give it to someone who can help. 2, get the person who sent it to tell you what it is. -- -- Jared Earle :: There is no SPORK jearle@... :: http://jearle.eu Hosting :: http://cat5.org Blog :: http://blog.23x.net
It could be a MIME digest - try dropping it on Stuffit Expander or other app capable of extracting MIME digests. On Aug 15, 2008, at 4:19 AM, Rudolf O.

Its likely an archive produced by saving a message in, or exporting one from Outlook. If the original message was text only, the .msg file should be parsed by any decent editor. If there were attachments present, it may well be in the form of a digest, but knowing MSft, it may well be only MIME-like compliant - maybe something like their dreadful TNEF package format ? Mark.
