I have a C# web application that saves files to a database as a byte array
and retrieves those files. When retrieving a file to display I have to
specify a content type / MIME type. I am having a problem with outlook
files that have a .msg extension. I can't find a content type that will
display .msg files. I could use application/msword if the messages were
just text but there are also attachments in the messages and these do not
get displayed in word. When saving a .msg file the PostedFile.Cont entType
property defaults to application/octet-stream which is not useful either.
Leaving the content type blank when retrieving the file just seems to return
the byte array.
Does anyone know what the content type is for an outlook .msg file?
