an email as attachment in an email the convert fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We are looking for a tool converting Outlook *.msg files to *.eml files.
And we find ruby-msg.

Looks great and we try it out.
Everything looks good except one thing.

If there is an email as attachment in an email the convert fails.
The resulting *.eml file has size 0 bytes and is empty.

We ask Google and find the same problem at http://www.redmine.org/issues/8093 

We are using ruby-msg-1.5.1

Any recommendations?

Best regards

Thanks for the quick response.

Works fine for me - with ruby 1.8.7. The project hasn't really been tested much 
with 1.9, there's probably a few things that are broken on 1.9.
