Please excuse me if this has been asked before (couldn't find anything in the archives), but does POI and/or HSMF supporting parsing of properties from the property streams of msg files? Fixed length properties values such as the send date seem to be stored directly in this "__properties_version1.0" entry, rather than in the "__substg1.0_XYZ" entries.
There have been quite a bit of work on HSMF since 3.6 came out, so you'll probably want to grab a recent svn checkout / nightly build
However, in answer to your question, there's not currently any support for reading data out of the properties stream, no. It would be good to have this added in though. I'd suggest you look through the various Microsoft file format docs for outlook (there's over a dozen if memory serves...), and try to identify the one that specifies the __properties_version stream. With that, it shouldn't be too hard to add in the support to HSMF, and a patch would certainly be welcome! :)
