[Alpine-info] ingesting .msg files

[D. Hugh Redelmeier via Alpine-info]

Every once in a long while, I have to deal with a .msg file.

.msg is an MS Outlook thing.  It is a container for email or related 
things.

I'm on Fedora Linux and it doesn't seem to have anything to unpack 
.msg files.

- LibreOffice has a go at it but isn't successful

- debian and Ubuntu have a tool "msgconv".

  This didn't trivially build on Fedora so I gave up.

I did use msgconv on Ubuntu.  It worked but was a bit awkward.
Note: my Alpine uses mbox format folders.

- copy .msg file to Ubuntu machine

- "msgconvert -mbox mbox *.msg"

- copy "mbox" to machine where I run Alpine

- alpine -f ../mbox

- you are now looking at the contents of the .msg; do what you want with 
  it.

One could use Outlook on an MS Windows machine but I don't have a license 
for Outlook.  Besides, I fear the learning curve (I've never lived on 
Windows).

Does it make sense for Alpine to be able to open .msg attachments?
(Kind of like the way Alpine can open RFC 822 attachments -- nice, BTW.)

Does anyone else have a good solution for this problem?
