Hi,

I am following up on this thread regarding the inability to upload .msg files (saved Outlook messages) via Microsoft Forms. This issue currently affects several users and limits our ability to collect critical data in its native messaging format.

Need

The goal is to enable the upload of .msg files without restrictions through forms, just like other standard file types (PDF, Word, etc.). This would ensure that users can submit relevant attachments directly from their email clients.

Benefits

1. Increased productivity: Users would no longer need to convert their files to other formats before submission, reducing unnecessary steps.

2. Data accuracy: Allowing .msg files preserves information in its native format, including metadata.

3. Improved user experience: This feature would simplify processes for end users and reduce frustrations caused by unsupported formats.

Could you please confirm if a solution is planned or if we should consider alternatives? Any updates would be greatly appreciated.
