SharePoint Online / 365 - Parse .MSG file server-side without outlook

Question

I need to parse .msg files saved from Outlook, extract subject and attachments.

Is it possible to parse msg files without a 3rd party extension in a sandboxed solution?

The .msg files will be located in a document library.

Answer 1

Parsing a .MSG file is complicated because you have to dissect a msg file generated by Outlook, and read the basic properties of the mail message, attachments and any msg attachments (these need to be handled differently).
