Nick Burch commented on TIKA-2069:
----------------------------------
I think that, given both how big macros can get and how they logically fit with
the document, as an embedded document might be best
Mimetype wise, some people seem to use {{application/x-vba}}, but the office
content types file uses {{application/vnd.ms-office.vbaProject}}. Our own tika
mimetypes file defines {{text/x-vbasic}}. I'd lean towards one of the latter two

> Tika supports macro-enabled Microsoft Office documents by extracting metadata
> and contents, however, macros within the document are not in the metadata or
> content output.
> Desire is to have the macro text extracted also.
