Problems Opening Message Attachments?

We're seeing reports of problems opening attached messages (*.msg), which are often sent using "Forwarded as attachment". Many of those who initially complained had recently installed Outlook 2003 SP3 and many blamed the problem on a bug in the service pack. They were also using Google Desktop Search and had recently installed an updated version.

As it turns out, it's not related to Outlook 2003 SP3. Any Outlook user with a newer beta build of Google Desktop Search may have problems opening forwarded messages (*.msg attachments).

The solution? It's reported that you can go to Settings, Options and uncheck the "Use Documents and Spreadsheets to open certain file types box. If this doesn't work for you, uninstall Google Desktop Search and reinstall the previous version.

Search in Exchange 2007

Content indexing in Exchange 2003 has been replaced with a more formal Exchange Search service. The Search Indexing Service shows up in Task Manager as Microsoft.Exchange.Search.ExSearch.exe. Microsoft Search (Exchange) is listed as msftesql.exe. The entire information stores are indexed by default, both messages and attachments, where possible. Indexes are updated dynamically, and not dependent on some static schedule. New content is added to the index as soon as possible after arrival.
