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.
RST
reStructuredText (RST) is a plain-text markup language widely used for technical documentation in the Python programming ecosystem. It is the default documentation format for Python projects and the native input format for the Sphinx documentation generator, which produces HTML, PDF, ePub, and man pages. RST supports complex cross-references, footnotes, directives, and extensions, making it well-suited for large, structured documentation projects.
