------------------------------------------
Hi [~tallison],
I would like to add java-libpst seems abandoned, because old and critical
reported issues are not being addressed, like this:
[https://github.com/rjohnsondev/java-libpst/issues/60]
We have a libpff ([https://github.com/libyal/libpff)] based parser using fork
and exec
(https://github.com/sepinf-inc/IPED/blob/master/iped-parsers/iped-parsers-impl/src/main/java/iped/parsers/mail/LibpffPSTParser.java),
it works better than java-libpst, but it is GPL licensed and we build custom
html mail views, not eml or msg, so I think it wouldn't help here...
> Add a libpst-based parser

> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Priority: Major
>
> We currently use the com.pff Java-based PST parser for PST files. It would be
> useful to add a wrapper for libpst as an optional parser.
> One of the benefits of libpst is that it creates .eml or .msg files from the
> PST records. This is critical for those who want the original bytes from
> embedded files. Obv, PST doesn't store eml or msg, but some users want the
> "original" emails even if they are constructed from PST records.
