This did the trick. I created a new MIME type in IIS for extension .msg, attaching it to application/msoutlook.

Thx for the sugggestion !!

The other extensions probably have pre-defined mime types in IIS. Youmay have to add .msg as a downloadable mime type in iis, or set up ascript to stream them and add a downloadable mime type to theheaders. IIS is supposed to default to text for unknown mime-typesthough.

Even with the mime type, I'm not sure it would work for this extensionif the server was already configured to open .msg files in outlook -don't know which takes precedence, the server or iis.

I have tried with both Internet Explorer and Firefox. No difference.
I have tried this from a client, as well as directly from the server.
Also, no difference.

It is odd that it does work for some extensions, and not for others. You would expect that it works either for all, or for none.

Can this be related to IIS 6.0 perhaps (just thougt of this) ?
I'll have a look in the morning.

Have you tried with a different browser to see of if it is a browser issue?]]> Tue, 29 Nov 2005 13:09:54 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/files-with-extension-msg_topic17388_post94563.html#94563 <![CDATA[Files with extension .MSG : Hello all.

Hello all. For uploading files, i use PureASP. This works perfectly.
Downloading the files from the forum also works, but only for some file extensions.
For instance, files with extension .doc, .gif or .rtf can be downloaded.
But files with extension.msg (Outlook Message Format) cannot bedownloaded. If you click on the link itself, i get a page stating "Pagecannot be found". Right clicking and choosing Save Target As gives asimilar error, where it says it cannot find the file.
If i rename once of those files to .rtf, all of a sudden it can download the file. Frustrating......

Has anyone seen a similar issue before ?

Thx,
Dennis
