I tried opening the .msg email file in Thunderbird.  Thunderbird
actually was able to pull out the From: To: Subject: and date.  However
the body was blank and Thunderbird showed an attachment of winmail.dat.

What I have read on the net is that the Outlook MSG format is some type
of Office like format.  I will try your suggestion of OOo.
