Need HSMF for creating Outllook msg file with attachments

[sus7cob <su...@gmail.com>]

Hi Everybody,

I have been looking out for an OpenSource java api that allows me to create
outlook msg files with attachments. But unfortunately I could not find any.
The ones that i found are licensed and are priced high.
Then I came across Apache POI's HSMF, but it too does not support creation
of outllook msg files yet.

I would love to have such a feature in HSMF. Kindly let me know by when it
is expected to have HSMF support for creating msg files, so that we could
get rid of buying too highly priced licensed tools.

Thanks,
Susheel.

About 3 minutes after you send in the patch to add the support ;-)

I don't think write support is on anyone's todo list, so it'll depend on 
when someone is willing to put in the time to add the feature. You ought 
to find that changing an existing file is mostly already there, generating 
a new file or adding/removing properties would take more work. If you're 
interested in adding the support, please join the dev list and we can give 
you some advice on getting started. Alternately, if you have the budget 
for expensive tools, you could consider instead sponsoring someone (not 
me!) to add the feature in for you.

Nick
