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.
