Extraction of text from emails
Hi,
Tika is supposed to process *.msg files (email extraced out of Outlook). At
first attempt this did not work, what should I look at? Incidentally, how do
I get *.msg out of Outlook?
Thank you,
Mark

Yes, as of now we don't provide pre-built binaries except for the
component jars in the central Maven repository.

Thank you, Jukka,
to get Tika 0.4 I need to build it from source, there is no jar yet,
correct?

It could be that Tika is unable to detect the file type. Earlier Tika
versions needed the file name as input metadata to correctly detect
some Microsoft file formats. Tika 0.4 should work fine even without
any input metadata.
If this doesn't help, can you file a bug report with an example .msg file?

But in my tests Tika does not process .msg (even though it is promised).
That is why I will extract to something like html

Or maybe, if one is using a converter anyway, one can ask the converter to
output HTML for example and avoid all *.msg problems?

Aaron,
that would work. I was looking for something in Linux, but that's not
so important. After all, such conversions can't be run on a Linux grid
anyway.
However, I still can't get *.msg recognized by Tika. I ran Tika in a GUI
mode, and it does not crash and even recognized the msg format and
a couple metadata fields, but no text.
Thank you,
Mark

To get msg files out of Outlook you can drag and drop messages from
outlook to a folder on your desktop or use a third party application
such as this one http://www.outlookconversion.com/pst-to-msg.html
