Description

We have a lot of Outlook msg files that have RTF body content. Tika is not finding any text within these messages. It appears to be a mixture of RTF and HTML.

I've extracted an example RTF body (see attachment) for use with the following test case:

ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream()
rtfParser.parse(
        this.class.getResourceAsStream("/problems/no-text.rtf"),
        new EmbeddedContentHandler(new BodyContentHandler(bytes)),
        new Metadata(), new ParseContext()
);
assertTrue("Document is missing required text", bytes.toByteArray().length > 0)
