I believe the Save As default type will match the format of the message. If
your message is an HTML message, the Save As will default to .htm. If a
Plain Text message, it will default to .txt. If a Rich Text message, to
..rtf. There is no way I know to change that.

Dear Brian,

Before Outlook 2003, I am using Outlook Express 6. In which when I am saving
any e-mail in my Inbox by default gets saved as ".eml" extension. Which saves
the attachments as it is with message as in Inbox. Whenever I explore the
saved e-mail & double clicks it, e-mail gets opened as if it is in inbox. I
am able to reply the saved e-mail by clicking on reply button on toolbar.

Now with Outlook 2003, I have to change the "save as type" each time I save
the e-mail in Inbox, which is cumbersome. Also HTML format dosen't saves
attachments with e-mail on hard disk as ".eml" file & I can not reply the
mail saved as HTML as it gets opened in web browser.

Thank you for your reply.

If you want a message saved in Outlook's native format (with file type
..msg), open the Windows folder where you'd like it and drag it from your
Inbox to the folder.
