About _NWS files

_NWS files are associated with Microsoft Outlook Express and are used to store news messages. While they might seem straightforward, converting _NWS files to other formats can be challenging due to compatibility issues. Commonly, _NWS files are converted to formats like .EML, .MSG, or .TXT.

For desktop software solutions, you can use Microsoft Outlook itself to open and save _NWS files in different formats. Another option is Mozilla Thunderbird, which allows you to import _NWS files and export them as .EML or .TXT files. You can read more about these file types on their respective Wikipedia pages.

Important considerations during conversion include maintaining the integrity of the message content and headers. Conversion challenges often arise due to the aging format of _NWS files and varying support across email clients. A significant drawback of using _NWS files is their limited compatibility with modern software, which can lead to loss of information during conversion.

While desktop solutions exist, they can be complex and time-consuming. A simpler, more efficient method is to use the free and easy online website, Convert.Guru. By dragging and dropping your _NWS files onto the Convert.Guru webpage, you can convert them effortlessly into more usable formats. This approach eliminates the hassle of dealing with software compatibility and preserves the content's integrity.


The _NWS Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best _NWS converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
