outlook-msg-parser

A Go library to parse .msg files from Microsoft Outlook.

This library is designed to handle various MAPI properties and extract relevant information from .msg files. It supports different versions and implementations of the MAPI standard, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of .msg files.

Features

• Parse plain text and HTML bodies of messages
• Extract email headers, subject, sender, recipients (To, CC, BCC)
• Handle attachments separately
• Support for multiple MAPI property tags
• Compatibility with different versions of Microsoft Outlook

Mentions to the original developer

Forked from willthrom/outlook-msg-parser, added some additional properties (see below), and clear up the example, since it didn't work as expected (e.g. ParseMsgFile expects a string pointing to the file, not a *os.File)

Installation

To install the library, use go get:

go get github.com/yuphing-ong/outlook-msg-parser


##  Usage

```sh
Here is an example of how to use the library to parse a .msg file:

package main

import (
    "log"
    "os"

    "github.com/yuphing-ong/outlook-msg-parser"
)

func main() {

    file = "test.msg"
    // Parse the .msg file
    msg, err := OutlookMessageParser.ParseMsgFile(file)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Failed to parse file: %v", err)
    }

    // Print the parsed message
    log.Printf("Parsed Message: %+v", msg)
}
