MSG to EML

[MON205]

Hello all,
How can I programatically convert MSG files to EML files without depending
on Outlook?
I tried the IConverterSession and it works fine, but it required that
Outlook be installed. Is there specific Outlook DLLs that I can distribute
with my application?

Thanks

You aren't allowed to deploy any of the Outlook dll's.

Is there any other way to convert?

Not that I know of.

What about the Redemption library? Does it depend on Outlook in conversion?

I've seen people say good things about this developer toolkit:
http://www.iconico.com/mailbox-SDK/

Redemption will work whether Outlook is installed (it will then use
IConverterSEssion) or not (standalone/server version of MAPI - it will then
use its internal converter).

Thanks a lot.
I'll try Redemption and the MailBoxSDK.
