Extracts emails and attachments saved in Microsoft Outlook's .msg files
The python package extract_msg automates the extraction of key email data (from, to, cc, date, subject, body) and the email's attachments.
You can install the package from PyPI as msglite. Then use the API
as follows:
from msglite import Message
msg = Message('path/to/message.msg')
print(msg.subject)
print(msg.to)
# The API currently does not differentiate Sender and From cleanly:
print(msg.sender)
print(msg.body)
Field types:
This package is a lightweight and functionally extended fork of msg-extractor written by Matthew Walker and Ken Peterson.
