.msg attachment won't send in Outlook 2003

[Jenny]

There is no printto command for the file type .msg. What
would be the proper way to add this functionality?

MSG files are Outlook Items, a proprietary format that can only be opened or
printed within Outlook. Outlook has limited rendering capability so there is
no printto verb you can define.
What is it you are tying to accomplish?

We're trying to attach a saved e-mail from Outlook (.msg)
and send it as an attachment via fax. Excel and Word
docs work fine and have printto defined in file types.
Thanks

No can do, as far as I know, because there is no program to render that file
type. You have to open the message and print it to the Fax Printer. Should
accomplish the same thing.
