Frequently asked questions
How do I open a .msg file without Outlook?
Drop the .msg file into TelaViewer: the message, its headers and the list of attachments appear. Each attachment opens in one click in TelaViewer.
Can an attachment launch by itself?
No. An attached program is shown as an information sheet and is never run.
How do I read a Windows Live Mail or Windows Mail folder?
File menu, “Open a mail folder…”, or drop the folder into TelaViewer: you get its folders, its messages sorted by date, and search.
