What do I get in the report?

The message subject, sender, recipients, and the plain-text body, formatted as a short markdown report.

Are attachments converted too?

No. Only the message text itself is read; attached files are not extracted.

Is my email sent anywhere?

No. The file is processed once on the server and the resulting report is returned to you.

What .msg files work?

Outlook messages saved as .msg (OLE/CFBF files), up to 40 MB, including messages with a plain-text body.

Read an Outlook message as a report

How to read a message

Press Convert file.
