there are two thing, One is Master page preview and 2nd thing Preview the Files in browser which is supported with Office Web Apps.

When used with SharePoint Server 2013, Office Web Apps Server provides updated versions of Word Web App, Excel Web App, PowerPoint Web App, and OneNote Web App. Users can view and, in some cases, edit Office documents in SharePoint libraries by using a supported web browser on computers and on many mobile devices. source

it support Office files plus PDF.

  • you cant see the outlook message, but if you configure OWA with exchange then you can view the Attachements via OWA.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150495(v=exchg.150).aspx – Waqas Sarwar MVP Jan 08 '14 at 17:12

It looks like PDF, MSG, TIF (and may many other common file types) are not supported according to this article http://www.vizit.com/the-pros-and-cons-of-sharepoint-2013-callout-previews/
