With this post and the Foxit PDF iFilter we are able to index MSG files including attachments on our portal. However we have found that not all MSG-Attachments are indexed. We got the same e-mail from two different sources, one gets indexed the other doesn't. We have found the difference laying in some MAPI Properties of the attachment. Unfortunately we cannot figure out which one is causing the problem. Anyone got any idea, which MAPI Property is the most likely to be needed by the SharePoint crawler? Thanks Rosa Hi Gavin,

I created a site custom column and mapped to metadata property. Uploaded a text file, plain simple .txt file and give value for custom metadata property and did full crawl. When I search (from with the portal using basic search screen,) the .txt file is showing in results. The problem is, When I search the same custom metadata property using API with FullTextQuery and SQL, the query is returning all Office documents like .Doc, .ppt, .xsl files but not the text file. Any advice. Gavin, Any help is greatly appreciated.

( I do have msgIFIlter) I can search inside a message in any other file extension but text. So basically the problem is to search in a message that has a text file attached to it. :( Any ideas?

It's 32bit out of the box with SP1 installed. I added a txt file and did a full crawl and I was able to search for content in the txt file correctly. Not sure what it going on with your install. Check that the .txt extension exists in the 2 registry paths that I mention in the article above. Also check that you can do a full crawl and that there are no relevant errors in the crawl log.
