Dear all,
 
I am investigating the issue of saving email to shared drives in
Microsoft Outlook's default .msg format.  It would appear that unlike
other Microsoft documents, the default Windows Explorer search function
does not search the content of saved .msg emails.  The default search
functionality only searches the file name.
 
Following some research, I have discovered that Microsoft have an add-in
available to improve .msg searching (Microsoft Article ID: 917402).
This add-in lets you search all of the following elements of .msg files:

	Message body 
	Subject 
	From 
	From name 
	From address 
	To name 
	To address 
	CC name 
	CC address 
	Doc title prefix 
	Sent date 
	Received date 
	Primary date 
	Conversation ID 
	Attachment names

I would be grateful for feedback from anyone out there who has
experience of searching .msg files and more specifically if you have
experience of applying the add-in mentioned above.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Gordon
