Also messages are printed to System.out. - The RTF compression decoder uses new String(byte[]) without charset -> locale dependent! Other places do this, too. This is broken, as the file format should define the charset. > Add support for Outlook PST > --- > > Key: TIKA-623 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-623 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: parser >Reporter: Tran Nam Quang > > Hello everyone, > As you might know, Outlook stores its mails and other stuff in a single PST > file.

If you do get it working, please list it on the wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/tika/3rd%20party%20parser%20plugins If you need help with developing the plugin, please ask on the dev list. You might also be interested in looking at the relatively small patch that was all that was required to enable JTNEF (GPL) to be used as a Tika plugin: https://github.com/jukka/jtnef/commit/a9a51982165101c0bdda4cb5266d7f8958c271ef > Add support for Outlook PST > --- > > Key: TIKA-623 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-623 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: parser >Reporter: Tran Nam Quang > > Hello everyone, > As you might know, Outlook stores its mails and other stuff in a single PST > file.
