Support MSG Attachments

[rnielsen]

Hi. This package is great although I notice I can't get the content of MSG attachments. It would be great if this was supported.

Hi @rnielsen
At this moment I don't have a plan to support inner MSG attachment structure. Maybe someone else has the same issue / request and will help with it

You can iterate through the attachments and pass them to a file processor (mine is called "createAttachment" used to create records in Dynamics CRM)
jQuery.map(fileData.attachments, function (attachment, i) { var fileattach = msgReader.getAttachment(i); var fileobj = new File([fileattach.content], attachment.fileName, {type: "application/octet-stream"}); createAttachment(fileobj);

Thanks @rgallini. Yes, I can read most attachments like this but when the attachment is a .msg itself the content is not available, because these attachments are handled differently in the .msg file format. There is a comment in the code that says "MSG as attachment currently isn't supported" so I just thought I'd raise this as a feature request. Thanks @ykarpovich for a great library.

Hi. I also need msg support. Why should it be handled different from any other attachment? I just need a "dumb" blob for each attachment. So if it's a PDF or MSG, does not matter. If I want to do something more after with a specific .msg attachment later then I can just parse it myself with a new msgreader.

I am also looking for this functionality that would allow me to at minimum, get the attached email as an attachment. It would be even better if it could recursively go through all .msg attachments.

Thanks @ykarpovich for a great library. Its really helpful for me to built a solution and but even I stuck with this issue and unable get .msg attachment. Is there any solution identified to get .msg attachments or please let me know if there is any workaround to get .msg attachments.
