Well, I haven't *.msg registered at all on my system, just
checked. *.nws is registered as "Internet News Message" (?!?).
I couldn't figure out, why the hell TB would give the attached
RFC822 messages *this* extension? It would be more logical
IMHO if it was *.eml, which is registered on my system as
"Internet Mail message":-))
So as for your question it seems to me that it doesn't really
matter whether these extensions are registered on the system
or not; TB would open these as regular messages anyhow.

Yup, but then you cannot make a template saying something
like:
"The message(s) from .... are to be found in the attachment to
this one".

This is my own point also; that's why I'm "remembering" the
problem discussed from time to time on this mailing list:-)
