creating .msg file for MS Outlook

843830Dec 15 2003 — edited Apr 30 2006

Hi,

I need to create a ".msg" file, so that some users can click on the message, and it opens up in MS Outlook. Has anybody successfully done this using the JavaMail APIs?

Using the writeTo method (ie: message.writeTo(fileOut); ), I was able to create a file. However, when I try and open it in Outlook, it won't open. I compared my file to a message that I saved using Outlook, and their msg file has a ton more stuff. It looks like all of the headers are encrypted.

If anybody has done this, and could provide some input, that would be fantastic!

Thanks.
