Convert Microsoft Outlook messages (.msg) to a linux readable format

A lot of times I receive emails produced by Microsoft Outlook that come in a binary .msg format that I cannot open.

Here I found a converter that works to convert these messages into .mime format, which you can also read as text.

Instructions

• Download the script and put it in a convenient location.
• Install the necessary Perl modules by executing the following: cpan -i Email::LocalDelivery Email::Outlook::Message or
  sudo apt-get install libemail-outlook-message-perl libemail-localdelivery-perl
• Run perl -w msgconvert.pl YourMessage.msg
• A YourMessage.msg.mime file will be produced
