We need our Maintain program to display project information and the saved Email messages that relate to the project. I can do this by saving the Emails as .txt files, but it doesn't work to save them as .msg files. Is it possable for Maintain to display .msg files in the same manner as it uses Adobe to display .pdf files.

Thanks, Kent

Maintain should use whatever you have assigned to open the file. The PDF file opens in Adobe because it is assigned to do so.

Do you want to display a list of msg files and have the user select? Please explain what you want to happen.

Thank you

I want to save all the .msg files for a project in a file by Project_Code/Date/Time. Then our user can click on the one they want to see. I have it working by saving the Emails as .txt but it would be a big benefit to save them as .msg files so that we can use Outlook to directly Reply or Forward the Email.

Thanks, Kent

If you change a .txt file on your computer to .msg and try to open it, you will get an error. If you save it as .eml it will open in your default mail client (which can be set to outlook per user).

.eml might be even better than .msg because of this.

The solution the Wizard come up with is this:
Hi Kent.
Please open the web.xml file in the c:\ibi\tomcat\conf directory and add:

         <!-- outlook -->
    <mime-mapping>
        <extension>msg</extension>
        <mime-type>application/vsd.ms-outlook</mime-type>
    </mime-mapping>
 

Then please recycle tomcat. Now you can launch outlook by clicking on the msg file.
