Problem : This attachment is a MAPI 1.0 embedded message and is not supported by this mail system.

I received an email from a GMail account to my Outlook/Exchange account.  The email is from a trusted party and attached to it was an unknown file type that my Outlook cannot open.  The properties of the file is empty and is a mere 89 bytes.  The file supposedly contains some textual information that I need but cannot “extract”.

When opening it with Notepad, the resulting text is “This attachment is a MAPI 1.0 embedded message and is not supported by this mail system.”

Any ideas?


Solution: This attachment is a MAPI 1.0 embedded message and is not supported by this mail system.
