Empty metadata when using mail-parser to parse .msg outlook emails (email-​outlook-message-perl 0.918-2) #93

While working with python (no matter the version), I noticed it's not possible to extract metadata from an outlook email (.msg) if you have email-​outlook-message-perl 0.918-2 installed. Instead, you'll need to use version 0.919-1, but updating it can be quite troublesome.

While trying to do so in this repository, some errors would occur. This drove me to look for a .deb file of the latter version mentioned, which I found here:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libe/libemail-outlook-message-perl/

After downloading it, I installed it with the following command:

dpkg -i [name_of_file]

Everything worked fine after that.

Thanks for suggest. This is not issue of mail-parser but it's depends from your local system, but we can change Dockerfile to update it with the new email-​outlook-message-perl library.
