Please excuse me if this has been asked before (couldn't find anything

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! :)
Thanks for the quick response. I've been doing quite a bit of reading
through these specs already. It looks fairly easy to parse this
particular data stream. I'll see what I can do wrt supplying patches.
