In Outlook 03 I was able to move email from the mailbox to my desktop or to
specific folders.  In Outlook 07 when I move/drag email from Outlook mailbox
the emails will not open.  I don't get any error message.

Is this a MSG file on disk, then?  If you have Google Desktop Search,
uninstall it and see if that helps.  If you don't, write back.

This is .msg file FROM Outlook mailbox, dragged either directly to desktop or
copied onto a flash drive then copied to desktop.  In any case, when I MOVE
the email from OUTLOOK, regardless of the location to which I've dragged the
email.msg it will not open.

I've aldready removed Google Desktop Search.
Thanks, Brad.

Can you drag it back into Outlook and read it then?

Brian (oops, sorry, you're not "Brad!")
I just dragged the email from my desktop back to Outlook mailbox, and it
went into the mailbox, and I was able to open it and read the email.  On the
desktop, it JUST OPENED!  What the HEY...  And I just went to some file
folders where I've stored emails that wouldn't open...  Now they're opening. 
Do you have a magic wand or something?

Long-range wizardry.
