SUMMARY
This article lists and explains all the entries in the Microsoft Mail for Windows private profile, MSMAIL.INI, that are contained in the [Mac File Types] section.

[Mac FileTypes]

Entries in this section map Macintosh file type and creator tags to MS-DOS file extensions. Mail uses them to determine what application to launch on a file attachment that has been sent from a Macintosh mail client. There are two alternative forms for the entries:

creator:type=.extension

or


 * type=.extension

Both the creator and type are sequences of four characters (possibly including blanks). For example


 * TEXT=.DOC

will launch the application associated with the extension .DOC (for example, Word for Windows) on any Macintosh file of type TEXT.

Additional query words: 3.00 3.00b 3.20 Mac File Types
