[ANN] ruby-msg-1.2.17 (converter for outlook msg files

ruby-msg is still, AFAIK, the best option for converting .msg files that
a) doesn't rely on you running outlook on windows to do the conversion;
and
b) is free software

Simply:
1. download the gem
(http://ruby-msg.googlecode.com/files/ruby-msg-...)
2. gem install ruby-msg-1.2.17.gem
3. convert some msg files. there is now a mbox mode - (msgtool -m *.msg
> mbox)

Details at http://code.google.com/p..., and at the wiki
http://code.google.com/p...wiki/Home.


Sample code using the library:

require 'msg'

msg = Msg.open filename

# access to the 3 main data stores
msg.recipients
# => [#<Recipient:'\'Marley, Bob\' <bob.marley@gmail.com>'>]
msg.attachments
# => [#<Attachment filename='blah1.tif'>, #<Attachment
filename='blah2.tif'>]
msg.properties
# => #<Properties ... normalized_subject='Testing' ...
# creation_time=#<DateTime: 2454042.45074714,0,2299161> ...>
