It might be beneficial to have the opportunity to extract the properties of an MSG file.
Summary: Open msg files and get their properties and be able to export them.
If this feature has not been considered, any suggestions on how to do it?

The msg file format is quite formidable, and not strongly related to the pst format, although the properties do overlap. Writing a program to read it would require an effort of 25 to 50% of the effort needed to write XstReader. If you want to do it, then the place to start is the Microsoft documentation of the format - just search for MS-OXMSG. I would be interested, however, in understanding your use cases: personally, I have almost never encountered msg files in practice.
