I tried opening the .msg email file in Thunderbird. Thunderbird actually was able to pull out the From: To: Subject: and date. However the body was blank and Thunderbird showed an attachment of winmail.dat. What I have read on the net is that the Outlook MSG format is some type of Office like format. I will try your suggestion of OOo.
