<p>I hope that I'm in the right place to ask this, if not I'll remove it.</p>
<p>I'm writing a program that renames the given email in .msg format based on the content of the email. The problem is that I'm not able to read the content of the file.</p>
<p>Is there an import that I can use?</p>
<p>Thanks </p>
<hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>recurrency: <pre><p>I don't know the spec of the .msg format but there is <a href="https://golang.org/pkg/net/mail/#Message" rel="nofollow">https://golang.org/pkg/net/mail/#Message</a> in the stdlib</p></pre>HeCallsMeCarl: <pre><p>Thank you! I will try it as soon as I can and give an update </p></pre>HeCallsMeCarl: <pre><p>Well it didn't work, Go complained about a wrong header. On the plus side, I can print the email by reading it with a "strings.NewReader" but it's not possible to search for a string. It never finds it, even if I copy past a string</p></pre>tvmaly: <pre><p>If there is not something to do this, and you are flexible, you could probably look at other language modules and port something to Go</p>
<p>Here is a example, a Perl module that can parse msg format

And of course it fails as a storage: it contains a preprocessed message, NOT the original!</p>
<p>Big shame, as email is sent in a format every client can parse...</p></pre>
