MSG

Microsoft Outlook Email Format

The MSG is a file format used by Microsoft Outlook to store email messages, including attachments, headers, and metadata. It is primarily supported by Microsoft Outlook and other Microsoft Office applications, but can also be accessed using third-party tools like LibreOffice, Thunderbird, or specialized MSG viewers. The format stores data in a structured binary format, preserving email properties such as sender, recipient, subject, and timestamps, while also supporting advanced features like embedded objects, RTF formatting, and custom properties.

RTF

Rich Text File Format

RTF is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987, designed for cross-platform document interchange with basic text formatting. It is supported by a wide range of word processors, including Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs, and can be opened on most operating systems. The format uses plain text with control words and symbols to define formatting, such as fonts, styles, and embedded objects, but lacks advanced features like macros or complex layouts found in modern formats.
