Uploading msg files with RPC call

Question

I'm trying to upload some documents with metadata through the SharePoint RPC calls. Works great, untill I try to upload a file with an MSG extension; it refuses that for some reason. Are there blocked filetypes when using RPC calls and if so: if there a way to prevent them from being blocked?

Answer 1

Never mind, it was my own fault. The code which uploaded the documents checked for a return message in the service response. That was checking on IndexOf("msg") and thus caused an error when I uploaded my msg message (no error for other document types obviously). Changing to IndexOf("msg=") easily fixed the problem.

Sorry!

Answer 2

Has an administrator added the MSG extension to the target SharePoint Application's blocked-file list?
