Hello Experts
I have to open the .msg / .eml files in the browser just as .doc files are opened in the native applications within the browser.
Please inform how this can be done.

Alternatively using asp.net 1.1 and vb.net/c# can I open the .msg/.eml files in native application within any placeholder / literal

or any client side scripting

All ideas are welcome.

Thanks in advance

You may need to enable the .msg mime type on your webserver. On IIS6 go to the HTTP Headers tab, click on MIME Types, add new mime type, add extension .msg in the extension field, and give it a name in MIME type field. Ok this setting. This should enable browsing of .msg files

use flash decompiler

I got this working recently in a Java servlet using:

response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-outlook");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=x.msg");

I don't know that the ContentType actually does much, I think it is the file extension set in Content-Disposition that makes it work.

Note that the email opens in Outlook, not the browser, so the client will need Outlook installed for this to work. I did not find a way to get the browser to display the message directly.

Hope this helps.
