Are these msg-files you've created yourself or did you receive them? In case
of the last; can you succesfully open you own? Also post your version of
Outlook.

Don't think so at the moment but you could always try a Detect and Repair.
Are these messages from Outlook 2003 clients as well? Is there anything
logged to the Event Viewer?

Sounds like you were working in a mixture of UNICODE and ANSI files. Outlook
2003 uses UNICODE while previous versions used ANSI.

I have a similar issue. I using Outlook 2003 and recently I cannot open msg attachments. Other attachments, word, excel, etc work fine. I have tried creating a new profile, detect and repair and re-installing Office (including Outlook 2003). I continue the get the same error – Messaging Interface Returned an Unknown Error … I can save the attached message file to my desktop and then can open. This applies for html or plain text formatted message. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dan

From a previous post - I have a similar issue. I using Outlook 2003 and
recently I cannot open
msg attachments. Other attachments, word, excel, etc work fine. I have
tried creating a new profile, detect and repair and re-installing
Office (including Outlook 2003). I continue the get the same error –
Messaging Interface Returned an Unknown Error … I can save the attached
message file to my desktop and then can open. This applies for html or

Thanks, Dan

I am experiencing the same problem, I'll try uninstalling and re-installing
Office next week.
