Roger,
MSG files are a MS proprietary format as far as I know.
But there are lots of tools that can read an MSG. Unfortunately, the ones I use are Windows apps.
Thunderbird saves as *.eml
FYI: In general, if I need to read a non-open data format in Linux I check out the libyal library to see if they happen to have a tool for that:
https://github.com/libyal/libyal/wiki/Overview
Approximately 50% of those packages are in openSUSE.
Interesting.
So if I had a PST file to try to parse, I would install "libpff-tools" and then look to see if there was a relevant tool for extracting discrete emails from the PST.
What if it is protected by password? I have an old backup of outlook or exchange email archives; I could save all on Thunderbird, except the inbox. Originally it was an Active Directory domain, I found no way to open it.
I already looked and don't see one for MSG format files.
