.msg

Win XP Home SP3- Outlook Express email.

Sometimes I receive email attachment with extension .msg - I think from Mac
computer.
The attachment does not open.
I do have M.Outlook as a part of Office but I do not use it for email.
I tried to save and open via Outlook but it does not work.

Any Ideas?
Thanks
MikeA

Outlook uses that extension for messages. Outlook Express does not. It
still could have been produced by some other program. Can you read it with
Notepad?
