Unable to open .msg file

[JerryK]

Hi,

We had a problem on the mail server and had to recover a series of .msg
files. I can view these files in Notepad and see the text of the message.
However, I would like to be able to view these files in Outlook. Whenever I
try to open one of the files I get the following message:

"Cannot open file C:\873873.msg. The file may not exists, you may not have
permission to open it, or it may be open in another program. Right click
the folder that contains the file and check your permisions on that folder."

I have checked the permissions on the folder and ensured I have full access.
Also, the folder is not read-only. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jerry

What happens if you open Outlook and then drag one of these files to an
Outlook folder?
