Tim Allison commented on TIKA-4250:
-----------------------------------
Given your experience, I think it would be valuable to add libpff as an
optional PST parser to Tika.
Advanced users can use libpff for content+metadata and then libpst to generate
msg files -- with the understanding that some msg files can't be generated
(e.g. when libpst fails).

> 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.
