Failure to open attached .msg file

C

Every once in a while I get a forwarded e-mail that comes as an
attached .msg file; and it will not open in Outlook 2003. Normally,
forwarded email is simply repeated in the text in full view.

What am I missing here? Appreciate any thoughts on this.

Milly, I thought you had to be kidding, but it worked. Thank you,
thank you!!

Is Google working on a fix, to your knowledge? Or is the problem with
Vista?

It is the latest from Google that causes the problem. I don't know if they are working on a fix - I am a Microsoft MVP, not a Google MVP. :)
