Content type for msg files

[David C]

Our application has an aspx page that sets the Response.ContentType based on
the file extension of the file selected, e.g. if .doc it sets it to
"Application/msword", if .gif it sets it to "image/gif", etc. What would I
use for .msg files that come from Outlook? Thanks.

David, I think it should be "application/octet-stream"

okay I think this one is better

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-outlook";

I'm not sure if it's version dependent or not, but for my Outlook 2002
it's working well

Don't forget to add

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"inline;filename=newmessage.msg");

Or simply use

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment;filename=newmessage.msg");

This one should work without a content type

Thank you. That worked perfect.
