Does anyone know of an app to convert outlook *.msg files to a text |
2 |
email? I have some individual email (*.msg) files from Outlook, not a |
3 |
.pst archive. |

|
5 |
I dragged-n-dropped the emails from crappy Outlook and now have them on |
6 |
my Gentoo box. I _thought_ they would have been stored as regular old |
7 |
email with one email in each file. Nope. Upon opening any of the MSG |
8 |
email files in VIM, all I see is binary crap. |

The only "docs" I have found on the Outlook MSG file format so far is: |
11 |
|
12 |
"MSG files are outlook messages saved as files. They are saved as "COM |
13 |
stuctured storage OLE2 compound documents" or "DocFile", which is the |
14 |
same technique used by Word, Excel and many many more." |

Can't MS even do email right? |
