Why msg files are differ after export from Outlook 2003 to filesys

[Mikhail Lisenkov]

Steps:
1 Choose one message in your inbox
2 Save it as msg file to one sample folder
3 Save it again in second sample folder
4 Compare thouse files by content or by checksum (SHA-1 for example)
These two msg files are differ.
Why it so?
Are there any workarounds for it. What can I do if I need get two same msg
files?

In addition: I checked message files exported from Outlook Express - they
are same by content and checksum.

Thanks.

when you move an item Extended MAPI gives it a new message id - that is
probably causing the discrepancy.

If I need to export one message to filesystem in two different folders and
need to get in result two exact same files in my filesystem, is it possible?

I don't think so, but check with the programmers in the program_vba group on
this server.

Thanks a lot for your assistance. It's more clear for me now.
