Hello Andreas, Thanks for your reply.
No, I don't have in mind to integrate jotlmsg "as is" in POI, because it is really only a wrapper around MAPIMessage. I was more looking to improve directly MAPIMessage and related API (such as org.apache.poi.hsmf.datatypes.PropertiesChunk) with what I've done in jotlmsg (actually, the only real part missing is the writing of chunk properties, which needs a little bit refactoring). I don't know how to proceed in order to make an equivalent of a pull request on GitHub ? Anyway, a link in your promoted section would already be great !
