I hope I am sending this query correctly this time.
I am using MS Outlook 2000 under XP Pro and have
two questions regarding Outlook.

(1) Is there any way I can use the "Help" feature to get
a index of items, which index can be searched or otherwise
processed. All I seem to be able to get when I click on Help
is that stupid office assistant which asks me to type in a
questin which it never understands.

(2) A friend forwards to me e-mail with an attachement the name
of which appears to be "message3.txt", but which, upon further
examination is actually "message3.txt(15 bytes).msg". Nothing
I have tried can make sense of it. Outlook produces a blank window,
Word will open it, but then displays garbage. Most other programs I
have tried will not even open it, producing instead an error message
saying that it's an unrecongized format. I have looked at a hex dump
using V - The File Viewer, and spotted way down in the message the
text string "Mime - version 1" (approximately). So I think this is
a MIME formatted file.
Hence the question(s):
        Can Outlook be tweaked to read this file?
        Can some other program be tweaked to read it?
        Is there some free software I can download which can read it?

I think some one else recently had an inquiry with similar symptoms,
though none of the responses helped in my case.

Thanks for your help,
