Format Details
MSG
MSG is Microsoft Outlook's proprietary format for saving individual email messages, meeting requests, contacts, and tasks as standalone files. Unlike the standard EML format, MSG files use Microsoft's Compound Document File Format and require Outlook or a compatibility library to fully decode. MSG files preserve all rich formatting, embedded images, attachments, and complete email metadata, and are widely used in enterprise email archiving and legal discovery.
Markdown
Markdown is a lightweight plain-text markup language created by John Gruber in 2004 to make writing formatted content for the web as easy as possible. It uses minimal punctuation-based syntax to define headings, emphasis, links, images, lists, and code blocks that convert cleanly to HTML. Markdown is the dominant format for README files, software documentation, technical blogs, and static site generators across the entire software industry.
