When you drag a file form outlook inbox to say your desktop, it saves it as a MSG file, is it possible to change for file type? Ideally I would like pdf, but EML would also be exceptable.

It is so i can attached it to another PDF or phrase it in a php script.

    By `drag&drop`, you will get a `.msg` file. Using the `file/save` menu, you can choose between several formats. Use `.html` and convert this to `.pdf` (with external tools) if desired. As an alternative, you could "print" the message into a `.pdf` file. – Axel Kemper Dec 22 '18 at 22:08
  • Thanks. I know these options, but i need this functionality when you drag and drop the file – user3714154 Dec 22 '18 at 23:39

No, it is your responsibility to convert MSG file format to any other format. You can use the Outlook Object Model for that - MailItem.SaveAs exports to the txt, RTF, HTML, MHTML, and Doc formats.
