Luís Filipe Nassif commented on TIKA-4250:
------------------------------------------
One drawback of our libpff usage approach is that it exports the internal
PST/OST tree as a file system tree, and it sometimes causes issues with
forbidden NTFS chars and long paths in the temp folder hard to delete and
parsing finishes...
> Add a libpst-based parser

>
> 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.
