How to Export MSG Files to Windows Live Messenger
Microsoft Outlook uses MSG files to save email data such as the sender's email address, the message body and the date the email was sent and received. This data may become important if you need to use an email as a reference in a court case or for use in a project at work. Since Windows Live Messenger, an instant messenger program, allows file transfers, you can send MSG files to coworkers or lawyers from within the chat service. Once they receive the MSG files, they can open them using Outlook or other MSG viewers.
