M-Files Mobile - Opening .MSG Files

Hello everyone,

The employees in our company and other clients are using M-Files actively. We have recently made the M-Files Mobile app accessible for the users.

So far there is no problem with the mobile application itself but there has been the following issue:

The employees are using Outlook mobile app to read their emails from their phones. They have installed and tested M-Files Mobile App.
They have asked for a way to open .MSG files which they have previously saved to M-Files. (They are frequently using the M-Files Desktop's functionality to click and open saved MSG files from M-Files into Outlook which makes it possible for them to open the attachments from the MSG even if the attachments are not saved to M-files directly).

I understand that M-Files Desktop relies on its deep integration with Windows and Microsoft Office to make that possible.
I also understand that we cannot expect from the mobile apps to have the full functionality of the desktop ones.

However, I would like to know if someone has a solution for this kind of behaviour of the M-Files Mobile app (both Android and iOS phones).
I have tried installing a MSG file viewer from Play Store in order to associate it with this type of files - no success: M-Files Mobile doesn't recognize it as an app with which .MSG files can be opened with.

Everyone is using Outlook for mobile and this cannot be changed due to the way our emails work.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you in advance!
