Read .msg files on Android

Apparently, It is not currently possible to read copies of .msg files from Outlook that are stored in Dropbox when there is an attempt to view them in the Dropbox app on an Android phone.  This is enormously inconvenient.  They are visible in Dropbox on a computer.  I don't have a tablet so I know if the problem exists in that format.

    Dropbox on a computer doesnt open your files - the computer does, so, something on your computer is capable of opening .msg files. 

     

    For mobile devices Dropbox doesnt have this capability, however you should be able to download a viewer which will do it for you.
