What is MSG File Format?
MSG is a file format used by Microsoft Outlook to store emails, contacts, calendar items, tasks, and other information. An MSG file contains all the components of an email, including the message body, attachments, sender and recipient information, subject, date, and other metadata. This format allows users to save individual email messages or entire folders in a single file for easy storage and sharing. MSG files can be opened and viewed by Microsoft Outlook and some other email clients, but may not be compatible with all email programs.
What is OFT File Format?
OFT is a file format used by Microsoft Outlook to save email templates. An OFT file contains the layout and content of an email message, including text, images, and formatting, but it does not include recipient information or specific details such as the subject line or message body. OFT files are used to create reusable email templates that can be easily customized and reused for sending similar messages multiple times. Users can save time and effort by using OFT files to quickly create and send emails with consistent formatting and content.
