How to extract .msg file from Outlook to TrichView
Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2023 2:28 am
Hello, Can you guide me on how to extract .msg file from Outlook to Trichview? I'm looking for how to do it but without success. Thanks
However, if you have Outlook installed, you can use Outlook COM object to open MSG file in TRichViewEdit.
There is a demo showing how to compose email in TRichViewEdit and send or save it using Outlook object:

Here is the code for opening MSG file (file choosing and error checking are skipped for simplicity). You can call this code on button click in this demo:
Code: Select all
var
MI: _MailItem;
Stream: TMemoryStream;
Body: UnicodeString;
begin
MI := App.Session.OpenSharedItem(FILENAME) as _MailItem;
txtSubject.Text := MI.Subject;
Stream := TMemoryStream.Create;
Body := MI.HTMLBody;
Stream.WriteBuffer(PWideChar(Body)^, Length(Body) * sizeof(WideChar));
Stream.Position := 0;
RichViewEdit1.Clear;
RichViewEdit1.DeleteUnusedStyles(True, True, True);
RichViewEdit1.LoadHTMLFromStream(Stream, '', 1200 {UTF-16});
RichViewEdit1.Format;
Stream.Free;The code above displays email body and subject. You can also check other fields of MI (such as Recipients and Sender)
