Answer 1

I had an almost similar situation and was able to solve it. Include the headers below and it should work just fine.

Regards

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header('Content-Encoding: UTF-8');
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-outlook;charset=UTF-8"); 
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");;
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=test.msg");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary ");

  {

    header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename='. basename($filename));
    echo base64_decode($file);
  }
