Tran Nam Quang commented on TIKA-623:
-------------------------------------
I started work on the Tika parser, but got stuck with the following problem: In
order to access the Outlook PST file, I need to create a PSTFile instance. Now,
the PSTFile constructor requires either a File or a String argument that points
at the PST file. The constructor then takes either of these to create a
RandomAccessFile internally. However, Tika's Parser interface gives me an
InputStream. What do I do?

> Hello everyone,
> As you might know, Outlook stores its mails and other stuff in a single PST
> file. There's a relatively new Java library called java-libpst for reading
> Outlook PST files. It is licensed under the LGPL and available over here:
> http://code.google.com/p/java-libpst/
> I have tested the library on Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003, with good
> results. It would be great if the library could be integrated into Tika.
> Best regards
> Tran Nam Quang
