Description

We currently use the com.pff Java-based PST parser for PST files. It would be useful to add a wrapper for libpst as an optional parser.

One of the benefits of libpst is that it creates .eml or .msg files from the PST records. This is critical for those who want the original bytes from embedded files. Obv, PST doesn't store eml or msg, but some users want the "original" emails even if they are constructed from PST records.
