Hi,

I'm looking for a way to parse Outlook MSG-Files in ABAP. E.g. to extract the subject line of a message. In my scenario the files are stored in DMS and have to be processed within a background job. Right now i had no luck in converting the binary data of this file format. Any help is welcome.

Hi,

no. I haven't found a way to parse msg files. As far as I know this isn't possible with abap toolset alone.

It is possible to write ABAP code to extract subject lines using .MSG File Format details.
