Using Groupwise and Outlook on same PC

I'm using a laptop with Win2000 on a docking station at work, and standalone at home. When at work, I'm connected to the LAN using Groupwise 5.5 for my email client. When at home, I use Outlook 2000 to access email from my ISP. Everything worked fine at both locations until I started automatically forwarding Groupwise emails to my ISP address. The forwarded Groupwise messages arrive into my Outlook as attachments with a .msg extension, but with a Groupwise message icon. When I attempt to open the attachment, my Groupwise client launches instead of the Outlook message form, thereby preventing me to view the attachment. If I save the message attachment to a file folder and then open it from Explorer, the message opens just fine with an Outlook message form.

I want to view the attachments with an Outlook message form directly from my Outlook. Any ideas how to fix this?
