Another application of RGE files is in rFactor, a realistic easily extendable racing simulation from Image Space Incorporated. It is used for game data storage. While these two uses of RGE files are the most prominent, there are other rare cases where the RGE extension may be used.

Possible Formats and Usage of RGE Files

RGE files can represent a diverse range of data formats. Here are the different scenarios where they are commonly used:

Microsoft Entourage: The main software that uses the RGE extension is Microsoft Entourage, a discontinued e-mail client and personal information manager. Entourage users could save emails in RGE format for data archival or transfers.
rFactor: Within the rFactor racing game, RGE files are a type of game resource file. They contain data like vehicle dynamics and behavior characteristics.

How to Open RGE Files

Opening an RGE file depends on the software that created it. Here's how to open one for both types of RGE files:

Microsoft Entourage: If the RGE file is an email archive, it can be opened using Microsoft Entourage. However, since the software is discontinued, opening the file may require conversion to a format that more recent email clients can read, like MBOX or PST. Tools for such conversion are available online, such as the Mailvare Free EML to PST converter.
rFactor: RGE files associated with rFactor can be opened and edited using specific tools like Bob's Track Builder or rFactor's game utilities.

RGE Files in Other Platforms

On rare occasions, RGE files may not be from Entourage or rFactor. In those cases, opening those files would involve identifying the software that created them and using that software to open them. Several online tools like FileMagic can help identify and open unknown file types.

RGE File Important Information

RGE files are specific and tied to the software that generates and uses them. They may contain vital information, especially if they are email archives. Care should be taken when handling these files to prevent data loss. Converting RGE files to another format may require specialized software, especially for outdated software such as Microsoft Entourage.
