The developers have even included a special export operation in the software specifically for this task. Here&#8217;s how to use PST Viewer Pro to extract email attachments from .msg files.<\/p>\n<p>First, download a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.encryptomatic.com\/pstviewer\/download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free trial and install <em>PstViewer Pro<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Next, using the Explorer navigation, select the folder where your .msg files are stored so that Pst Viewer Pro can read them into it&#8217;s mail list.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-WLGtiaDAS3Q\/T8enMXCqhkI\/AAAAAAAAAIk\/bHWdGEywFQI\/s1600\/outlook-viewer-menu.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Open MSG files\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pstviewer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/outlook-viewer-menu.gif\" alt=\"Open MSG files with PST Viewer Pro\" width=\"320\" height=\"295\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>From the Export Manager, choose the export profile &#8220;Only Attachments.
