OutlookMessage.getPropertyValue() should be public. It's just common sense. Meanwhile I'll use reflect to extract 1042 In-Reply-To:

What it means is that outlook-message-parser should have better support for the In-Reply-To header (if feasible). Would that solve your problem? In which case, would you be able to provide me with a sample msg that includes this header?

Would that solve your problem?

Partially. I'm porting msgconvert from perl to java and there are 3 or 4 properties used there, but unsupported here.

would be able to provide me with a sample

Don't have Outlook now, sorry.

Ok great, let's see if we can improve this library and add support for those properties. Which properties are you missing?

But why are you so reluctant to make the getter public? Even the setter is public!

bbottema commented 3 years ago

Oh that's easy, because then I wouldn't get to see bug reports like this one and the library would remain in the plane of mediocrity forever. But I might make it public anyway, because users need a backup in case something is missing.

Well, you got your wish (finally). I made the method public. Just got released in 1.8.1
