Thanks for your reply. Do you happen to know if there is a way to default
this format? In Outlook 2002 you could just right click on the email without
opening it and save it automatically to .msg format.

There's no way to change the default, but you can just drag the message from
Outook to a Windows folder and will be .msg by default.
