.msg file to something useful

[KateM]

Hi Peeps,

can anyone tell me if it is possible to convert a .msg file to something i can use on a mac - pref a pdf, jpeg or tiff format. i dont have a pc so any converting software would need to work on a mac too.

thanks

I've just created a .msg file from Outlook.

The body of the email is visible as plain text in notepad, so something could be done to extract the text. That'd be the first step before conversion to an image.

What do you want to do with them?
Have you tried importing them into a Mac mail program?

I have tried to import the file both into Outlook express and Mail, but with no success.

The file is a logo, (not wanting to start the logo debate up again ), but our client requested the logo from his designer so we could add it to a file we are creating for him and after initially not wanting to hand anything over he has reluctantly sent a .msg file.

I just need to get it into a format that i can flow into illustrator.

It could be unicoded. Feel free to email me the file (duane at keyone dot co.uk) and I'll see if I can extract it or work out what it is.

Or it could be that the designer is wasting your time.
