Show HN: Free In-Browser .msg Viewer

4 points by molotochok 3 days ago

On my job I needed to see the content of Outlook .msg file. You might assume that, I could simply open it in Outlook app. It might have worked on Windows, but not on Mac. As there it expects .eml instead of .msg. I also didn't want to use any website that in order to parse the file uploads it to an external server. It is insecure and violates the company policy as the internal data can be exposed. So, I decided to create a simple .msg viewer that doesn't send any request to an external server and reads the file in browser. It is extremely fast and safe as the data is not shared with third parties.
