Viewing Outlook .msg files in Internet Explorer

[Steve S]

I save important e-mails as .msg files outside of Outlook (so they are
not accidentally deleted in the future).

If I double click on these I can view them in Outlook.

What I would really like to do is view them through Internet Explorer
with File Open (that is show them in the IE window, not just launch
Outlook).

Is there a way to do this ?
Can I use VBScript ?
The CreateItemFromTemplate(filename) method seems to be the way to
programatically open a .msg file but how can I make it show in the IE
window ?

No, not possible. IE cannot display Outlook items.

Opening Outlook .msg files from IE

Hi, I understood that it is impossible to view an .msg file in IE, but what I need to do is something diferent. I've created an asp page that alows me to see the content of a particular directory in my hard disk. In those files there are msg files and I want to see them in Outlook by clicking the links in my asp file, in IE. Is there some way to do this?

Thanks!
