But <http://www.zamzar.com/convert/msg-to-eml/> says:- MSG was originally designed for the Microsoft Exchange mail document, this format is widely used by all of Microsofts infrastructure solutions. MSG files consist of main message body, calender, contacts and reminders, these are arranged in a hierachial directory structure and underpinned by MAPI (Microsofts Messaging Application Programming Interface). A MSG file are often formed by Outlook Express of Microsoft Outlook. They are saved as COM structured storage OLE2 compound documents and consist of several streams with sub tags. A MSG file maybe encoded in either Binary or ASCII. And:- EML was designed to store e-mail messages in the form of a plain text file. It is structured with a header and main body, the header consists of the email address of both the sender and recipient, the subject and time and date the email was sent. The main message area of the email is described as the body and can contain hyperlinks and file attachments. EML files were created to comply with the industry RFC 822 standard which is the standard format for Arpa Internet text messages first conceived in August 1982. EML files contain plain ASCII text for the headers and the main message body and may be exported for the purposes of archiving and storage. -- Best regards MFPA mailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net Gypsy Dwarf Escapes Prison: Small Medium at large Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 6.1.8 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
