=head1 NAME
msgconvert - Convert Outlook .msg files to mbox format
=head1 SYNOPSIS
msgconvert [options] <file.msg>...
Options:
--mbox <file> deliver messages to mbox file <file>
--verbose be verbose
--help help message
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 8
=item B<--mbox>
Deliver to the given mbox file instead of creating individual .eml
files.
=item B<--verbose>
Print information about skipped parts of the .msg file.
=item B<--help>
Print a brief help message.
=back
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This program will convert the messages contained in the Microsoft Outlook
files <file.msg>... to message/rfc822 files with extension .eml.
Alternatively, if the --mbox option is present, all messages will be put in
the given mbox file. This program will complain about unrecognized OLE
parts in the input files on stderr.
=head1 BUGS
The program will not check whether output files already exist. Also, if you
feed it "foo.MSG" and "foo.msg", you'll end up with one "foo.eml",
containing one of the messages.
Not all data that's in the .MSG file is converted. There simply are some
parts whose meaning escapes me. One of these must contain the date the
message was sent, for example. Formatting of text messages will also be
lost. YMMV.
