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.
ODT
ODT (OpenDocument Text) is an open standard document format developed by OASIS for word processing, used as the native format by LibreOffice Writer and Apache OpenOffice Writer. It stores document content, styles, images, and metadata as XML in a ZIP archive, ensuring full transparency and long-term accessibility without vendor lock-in. ODT is also supported for import and export by Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
