Hello, sorry I'm just jumping in here because of your mention of the viewer for .msg files. How do we enable/access this?

Hi,
the fact that I don't know how to save an email from a Flow to a lib as msg is one thing.. but if you put a .msg file in a modern library and click it, it will render in the browser.

Hi Mikael,

Thanks for your reply. So I've tried exactly this (in FF and IE) but receive the message "Hmmmm...looks like this file doesn't have a preview we can show you."

Just wondering if there is a plugin that is required or setting that is not enabled that you might be aware of?

Thanks
Gav

  I saved an e-mail from Outlook as msg in a lib, clicked it and it uses Office Online Server to render it - just like Word etc. You could test with a simple .txt file. Works fine in the tenants I've tried (all first release, so could be a thing) and in all browsers.
  
  If the file is not supported it downloads the file instead.
