Is there a way I can open up an attachment in its native app? I.e., if an outlook email is attached to a row, how can I open it up directly in Outlook, instead of it opening in my browser or having to save it as and then open it?

Is your attachment an eml file or a text file?

I use chrome on a mac and have chrome set to always open eml file. And I have the mac set to open all eml files with outlook rather than Apple Mail.

hi - it's an email file

@jessica.jcdb This should be controlled by your computer's operating system.

Windows 10 - Go to Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps - scroll down and select "Choose default apps by file type". Scroll down to .eml and set Outlook as the default app.

Windows 11 - Should be identical to Win10 or nearly so.

Mac - No idea, I'm a PC guy.
