If so, as you say, attachments will be stripped off and stored separately from the email body. In addition, email-enabled document libraries will only save a couple of email properties as metadata. There is no way that I know of to configure it to save emails in .msg format. On the other hand, if you install Colligo Contributor Add-In for Outlook, emails and attachments are saved together as .msg files. It will also extract all the email properties (To:, From:, Sent:, etc.) and save them as SharePoint metadata. This is initiated with a simple drag and drop to a folder in Outlook - the rest is automatic. You can also use Outlook rules to automatically send emails to SharePoint.

I ask because we forward mails to sharepoint which strips out attachments unless you save first in .msg format then upload which seems pointless.
