Hi Paul,

Thanks for your time on this issue.

We will try to provide our inhouse PST as soon as possible.

Thank you

Subject: Re: Bug#984581: pst-utils: Fails to extract email addresses for emails 
having ARC headers from PST file

I did some further investigation of the PST file you sent.

I conclude that there are two problems you are experiencing:

The first one is that readpst doesn't consider the headers as valid
even though they clearly are valid. Since the header validity detection
was added to detect invalid PST files I am going to have to discuss
this with the upstream author. Perhaps the header validity detection
will have to become more generic or perhaps it will be discarded or
perhaps the invalid PST files will be detected in a different way.
Fixing this will bring back all the headers, including ARC & To.

The second one is that for your particular PST file, the To field does
not contain an email address. Looking at the debug output I see that
the "Display Sent-To Address" contains only the name, not the email.
This appears to be a problem with the PST file itself, as the 0x0E04
type, which is PR_DISPLAY_TO, aka the "Address Sent-To", does not
contain the email address. The email address does appear in the
"Contact Address" and "Search Key" though. I am not sure if it is
correct to merge the contact address into the to address though.

If you have any more samples of working or broken PST files, I would be
happy to have a copy of them to debug further.
