2007 Outlook Creating folder when saving a HTML email with attachm

[Diane]

In Outlook 2007, when you open an email that is in HTML format with an
attachment and want to save the email and attachment (specifically to a
network drive), you click on File, Save As (not Save Attachments), it
creates the email message as a HTML document, but there is no attachment in
that document. It also creates a new folder in the same network folder the
HTML document is in with the same name. The new folder contains 3 files,
colorschememapping, file list which show as XML document and a file themedata
which shows as Microsoft Office Theme.
Is there any way to change this so the email itself and the attachment are
saved together in one file?

change the "save as type" to Outlook Message Format (*.msg)

Thanks for your reply. Do you happen to know if there is a way to default
this format? In Outlook 2002 you could just right click on the email without
opening it and save it automatically to .msg format.

There's no way to change the default, but you can just drag the message from
Outook to a Windows folder and will be .msg by default.
