DO NOT REPLY [Bug 49375] New: Support for contacts

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49375

           Summary: Support for contacts
           Product: POI
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: HSMF
        AssignedTo: dev@poi.apache.org
        ReportedBy: yoda@oleco.net


It would be great if the MAPIMessage would have more IPM.Contact related
properties. For example the first name, last name, birthday and several address
fields. Or maybe a subclass could handle these msg files.

By the way, you did a great job already!

Created an attachment (id=25528)
 --> (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=25528)
Zip containing .msg, .vcf, .rtf and .txt files with the same data, generated
with German Outlook 2003 and English Outlook 2000

If you could tell me where all these specifications can be found, I maybe can
seek out the one you need.

By the way: The most interesting properties for a msg contact (all can be
matched to properties of the vCard file format):
-------------------------------
FullName
Lastname
Firstname
JobTitle
Department
CompanyName
BusinessAddress
HomeAddress
OtherAddress
HomeTelephoneNumber
HomeFaxNumber
BusinessTelephoneNumber
MobileTelephoneNumber
BusinessFaxNumber
OtherTelephoneNumber
Email1Address
Email1DisplayName
Profession
Birthday
WebPage
-------------------------------
All of them are in the example files + some more.

Firstly, could you please upload a couple of sample messages which include this
contact information in them? Please include with each message a plain text file
describing the contact information, so when we come to write unit tests we can
ensure we've fetched the correct stuff back out!

Secondly, if you could identify which of the Microsoft specification PDFs
contains the contact information definitions, that'd be a big help. There's
something like 50 PDFs covering all of the outlook file formats, so it can take
a while to find the right bit of the spec...

For the specs, start at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc463900%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx

And work your way through all the other exchange/outlook related documents from
there...

Looking at the attached files, it seems that the contact information is in the
0x8000 - 0x81FF range of chunk IDs, with some of it also duplicated in the
0x3Axx range.

If you run the files through org.apache.poi.poifs.dev.POIFSViewer you'll see
most of it quite easily. The next step is to find the specs, so we can be sure
what'll always be in chunks with a given ID, rather than guessing....!
