Before Outlook 2003, I am using Outlook Express 6. In which when I am
saving any e-mail in my Inbox by default gets saved as ".eml"
extension. Which saves the attachments as it is with message as in
Inbox. Whenever I explore the saved e-mail & double clicks it, e-mail
gets opened as if it is in inbox. I am able to reply the saved e-mail
by clicking on reply button on toolbar.

Now with Outlook 2003, I have to change the "save as type" each time
I save the e-mail in Inbox, which is cumbersome. Also HTML format
dosen't saves attachments with e-mail on hard disk as ".eml" file & I
can not reply the mail saved as HTML as it gets opened in web browser.


If you want a message saved in Outlook's native format (with file type
..msg), open the Windows folder where you'd like it and drag it from your
Inbox to the folder.
