About MSG
An MSG file is one Outlook item, an email, appointment or contact, saved in Microsoft's compound file format. It keeps the message with its attachments, but the layout is proprietary, so mail programs other than Outlook cannot open it directly.
MSG opens in Outlook and almost nothing else. MSG keeps an Outlook message exactly as Outlook stores it.
