What is .MSG File Extension?

.MSG file extension is a Microsoft Outlook E-Mail message. Mostly this extension can be found on computers running Windows operating systems. The .msg files are used for saved e-mail files. These are actually email messages that were encoded with MSG extension that Outlook can read.

These files are saved as DocFile which is also being used with Excel, Word and other Microsoft applications. Every time an email is sent using the Microsoft Outlook program, a new MSG file is created and it contains multiple e-mail fields, including the date, sender, recipient, subject, and message body; compatible with other programs that use Microsoft's Messaging Applications Programming Interface (MAPI).

Some parts of the file are encoded in binary and others are in ASCII. This MSG file can also be sent over the Internet to allow a recipient to download the file and open it with a specified software application.

Once Outlook is used to send emails, it generates files with MSG extension. Uninstalling Outlook may not remove all these files. MSG files can be opened with applications such DFVIEW.EXE, but may not contain comprehensible email message.
