Convert .msg to image format

Tanuja123

I'm developing an application in silverlight. I want to convert files of .msg format to image format like jpeg/jpg in order to be viewable for preview. Is there any best way to do this conversion in seconds. Any good links to start with..

AFAIK, .msg files are email messages. Do you want an image representation of the email message? EDIT: Anyone care to own up and explain the downvote?

Bloody brilliant that! Did you infer it from the statement

Yes, there is no other "conversion" from email message to image.

And what, pray tell, is the point of my pointing out that you are pointing out the obviousness of pointing out the obvious ? :) Bill

+5 Shameel, I think it's excellent form to ask fundamental questions, to say "is that what you really mean ?" when presented with bizarre use-cases, like wanting an 'image' of an e-mail ! best, Bill

Past history with this user posting incorrect solutions by inferring the meaning behind an OPs post. In this case he isn't asking for clarification, jut stating the obvious.

I don't see any problem with inferring when the question is not clear. I just provided alternative solutions based on my best understanding of the question. If it sounds incorrect to you, it's your perception.

The OP herself was not sure about her question. It is very much possible that she mistook .msg extension to be an image format like .jpeg, getting it clarified is not a sin. If you have problem both with inferring meaning as well as asking for clarification, I cannot help it. There are cultural differences between native English speakers and those who speak English as a second language. Being a native English speaker yourself, it is difficult for you to understand this difference.

Thanks Bill, but certain people have a problem with both asking for clarification as well as inferring the meaning. So, when they see such a post, they go on a downvoting spree :-)

How arrogant of you to automatically assume the the OP was confused. How arrogant of you to automatically assume I am a native English speaker. How arrogant of you to automatically assume I have no experience with multiple cultures. You would do best to leave your arrogance on the desk, not in the keyboard and refrain from such assumptions. If you have a problem with that you can just as easily not respond or go somewhere else.

There is no arrogance here, only cultural difference. (which you can never understand as you have demonstrated here)

People who follow these posts can easily understand who is arrogant. Atleast, I am not arrogant to the level where I downvote rival answers to make sure my answer shows on the top and to ridicule and insult other answerers.

Ahww, are your feelings hurt. :(( You get what is deserved and in case you haven't noticed, there are over 8 million users here.

ri·val [rahy-vuhl] Show IPA noun, adjective, verb, -valed, -val·ing or ( especially British ) -valled, -val·ling.
noun
1.
a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor.
2.
a person or thing that is in a position to dispute another's preeminence or superiority: a stadium without a rival.

We are not competing for anything and you are not even close to being superior in anything.

ar·ro·gant
[ar-uh-guhnt]
–adjective
1.
making claims or pretensions to superior importance or rights; overbearingly assuming; insolently proud

You are the one making claims to know what people are asking and to automatically assume things, like their native language and culture, with nothing more than a screen name. Now, once again, this could go on indefinitely and you could continue to show your ignorance and arrogance, but you are really just a passing annoyance, like a junior developer who has no practical experience.

I did not try to exert my superiority, you did and it is evident from your behavior and your comments. (And don't tell me you don't downvote and ridicule rival answers).

The OP is from India and I know what she meant. Was it possible for you to know it was "her" and not "he"? It was possible for me because of the same culture. (Not because of my superiority as you claim)

How did you assume this? And if you can assume something, why can't I? Why do you have a problem then? Again it's nothing but a blatant and shameless display of your superiority complex.
