打开Outlook中的.msg文件的链接

Question

I am enhancing our client database (php 5.6, js) with some filemanagement components.

If one uploads a file it gets displayed in a list with its name and a link with the pathfile to preview it in the browser (PDFs and IMGs get opened nicely) however if someone decides he needs to upload a .msg file the browserpreview of that file is a mess and not readable at all.

Is there a way to automatically open .msg links with outlook of display it properly in the browser?

Take a look at the similar thread - display .msg file in browser using php.

To open an .msg file in Outlook the file should be downloaded and saved on the hard disk, then you need to start a new process specifying the path to the .msg file. I don't think it is possible in PHP. Or you may consider automating Outlook from Internet Explorer (only).

Also you may find third-party components helpful such as MSG .NET or Aspose.
