Extract files as MSG binaries #1

Open markb-trustifi opened 9 months ago

Is it possible to extract files from PST archive in a binary form? I believe they should be MSG files. Is it correct? If it does, what about parsing these files with https://github.com/HiraokaHyperTools/msgreader library? What would be the difference in the performance and results quality?

PST is a big database file. So, it is not true that: MSG files are directly stored inside PST.

PST to MSG process requires to add a logical writing layer on msgreader side, which currently it doesn't exist.

pst-msg-layers

Also this requires knowledge of both packages pst-extractor and msgreader. So it should be implemented on independent package like _pst_tomsg.
