opening an entourage email with MS Outlook

N

I've received an important (and time sensitive) email attachment that
was created in entourage that my Microsoft computer won't open. I'm
not that computer savvy, and I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

At a rough guess, it has been compressed with stuffit, what used to be the
standard mac file compression format.

There is a free windows decompression utility available at
http://www.stuffit.com/win/expander/index.html that should allow you to
access the files in the archive.

Outlook doesn't understand .eml type files.

Drag the message (or import it) into Outlook Express on your PC instead. If
you really need it in Outlook, Redirect it to yourself from OE and then
you'll get the message in Outlook too.
