    What is the MIME type for .msg Microsoft Outlook Message files?

    Hi all,

    We are developing an ASP.NET web site application using VB.NET, and web clients are using a file upload functionality yo upload files, images or documents to a upload root folder on the web server IIS 6.0

    We have arrenged MIME types for common file type extension used during upload files.

    Clients can upload .msg file extension files which are the Micosoft Outlook Items or outlook messages. But when the users try to download .msg files which were uploaded earlier to the IIS web server, the web response is a 404 error message.

    What MIME type can be used for .msg file extensions?
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I have found the MIME type for the .msg Microsoft Outlook messages.

    In the IIS 6.0 management console I added the MIME type application/vnd.ms-outlook with .msg extension as shown in the below screenshot.

    After I have recycled the application pool, the .msg files are successfully served and the clients were successfull to open the Outlook mails using the Outlook application.

    application/vnd.ms-outlook mime type
