Outlook File Save As Type

As part of our procedures at work we frequently need to save messages in received in Outlook, to do this we go to File, then Save As.

This then defaults the Save As type to HTML.

However we need to save Emails as Unicode Outlook .msg files.

Is there any way to change the default Save As file type so that we do not
always need to keep setting the File Type.

We are using Outlook 2007.

Write a macro?

Hi Honeybee,

I would like to change the Save as type without having
to use a macro if possible.

I find it kind of strange that the default is html and
Not Outlook msg format

I use Outlook 2010 and the default format for save as is html as you stated. However, when I select the type as outlook message unicode, it remembers what I choose next time (even after Outlook is closed and reopened).

Hi stanav,

Sorry for not getting back sooner.

We use Outlook 2007 at work, and it does not remember what type I last selected, it
just defaults to HTML

In Outlook 2007 it does not save the last saved as file type for you.

I did write some code to save attachments which can easily be changed to save as email msg if you like.
