A quick search of CPAN finds "Mail::Outlook - mail module to interface with Microsoft (R) Outlook (R)." Have you tried that?	[reply]

Mail::Outlook with its companion modules Mail::Outlook::Folder and Mail::Outlook::Message are likely what you are looking for. DWIM is Perl's answer to Gödel	[reply]

It looks to me this module requires Outlook to be installed and it interacts via the app with a PST file. I am going to have an archive of files in the .msg format. I dont know anything about it but it looks like there are products to convert PST to MSG. I'm hoping to find someone with direct experience handling archives of .msg files.	[reply]

I'm also looking for modules to do what you're describing. I'm using MS Outlook 2003 on XP. When I store an individual email, it is stored with the .msg extension. So i'm thinking of having my users store the messages in a PC folder and then fill a web form with a "file" field where they'll pick the msg file they've just created. Havent tried the module yet. Hope it works. Heatseeker Cannibal	[reply]
