Re: How to take a copy of incoming mail to Outlook?

I would NOT use MSG as a means for message archiving/backup. This message
format is not suitable for storing all the variety of messages you will
encounter in the wild. In particular, deeply nested messages and messages
with large numbers of recipients and/or attachments will present unsolvable
problems with this format. Also, you lose a great deal in message fidelity
in conversion to and from this format.

You will be much better off developing your own format in which to archive
the messages, or (since it looks like this may be an in-house project),
locating a third party who has already done this work.
