How to get MIME content of OFT - outlook

How to get MIME content of Outlook template file? I need to create an email from file and send it using Graph REST API. In Microsoft Docs I found only different examples.

OFT file is in the same format as MSG. Neither format contains any MIME data - it is simply not native to Outlook.
You would need to convert the file to the MIME format - see Convert Outlook.Mailitem to MIME type without saving or sending the mail.

Mime types for custom file type in Jmeter

I am trying to upload a custom file type with our own file extension through Jmeter file upload. My custom filetype, with a custom extension, is actually a zip archive containing various xml and other files.
I am not sure about the mime type that i should use for custom file. However i tried with application/zip and application/sfp(extension of my file). Getting a Response code: 415 in Jmeter
Record the action using jmeter recorder. It will create the upload request for you and will set the MIME type. Use that MIME type to check if it works.

Parsing Outlook Emails (.msg) with Mimekit

Im attempting to parse .msg files from outlook to get the MIME content in order to save the file as an eml. I'm using Exchange Web Services to save emls as they come through a journaled inbox on the exchange server, but some emails need to be saved after the fact through an outlook add in, though getting them into an eml/MIME format seems more difficult.
The example on the mimekit github page shows it can parse a msg file, though when I attempt it, a System.FormatException is thrown. Does mimekit support msg parsing?
This is what I am doing right now:
var stream = File.OpenRead(#"C:\example.msg");
var parser = new MimeParser(stream);
var msg = parser.ParseMessage();
Any amount of insight would be incredibly helpful.
MSG format is not MIME - try to open it in Notepad. It is an OLE storage file.
To open IStorage file, use StgOpenStorage.

Enabling search on attachment names for email documents archived through IBM Content Collector

We need to be able to search on email attachment names (Name of the files attached to an email archived in FileNet through IBM ICC Microsoft Exchange email connector)
If we just enable CBR on the object store, we are able to search the text in attachment body but not the attachment names.
Another approach we thought of is to save the attachment names in a metadata property. But issue here is, we are not able to extract the attachment names in ICC. Please suggest any approach for this.
Could you check the filename in the content element of created document for attachment.
If the filename contains the original attachment name, you can copy this value into DocumentName property throught handler action or pre-processor action.

Amazon SES attachment error for ICS files

I am facing attachment error with Amazon SES service. Normal pdf or jpg files are attached properly. But when i attach a .ics file which is a calender file. I got this error.
554 Transaction failed: Illegal filename 'file_name.ics'
I am using aws-ses gem with rails 3.2.2
Is there any limitation from Amazon? And how can we request them to allow this mime type to our account?
The actual issue was that the email has content type multipart/mixed and the part which holds the ics file has the cotent type text/plain, According to Amazon MIME Types, text/plain must have extensions txt, diff, text. But in my case it was having .ics extension.
So i have to change the code from this.
attachments["file_name.ics"] = #model.to_ical
to this.
attachments["file_name.ics"] = {:mime_type => 'text/calendar',
:content => #model.to_ical}
and it solved my problem.
While Amazon SES does not accept every MIME type indeed, Content Type text/calendarand Extension ics are properly supported as per their respective Appendix: MIME Types.
Without looking at their source, I suspect this to be a limitation of the aws-ses gem eventually (the list of MIME types supported by SES has grown over time) and suggest you give the official AWS SDK for Ruby (AWS Ruby Gem) a shot instead, which should nowadays provide more consistent and properly maintained development/usage experience for all already supported AWS services.
Good luck!

Cocoa - specify content type in mailto URLs to include HTML

I want to open the user's Mail client on clicking a button and populate the message body with some HTML content.
While my code successfully does that (using mailto: URL scheme), the HTML content shows up as is (i.e. the HTML is not formatted).
Is there a way I can specify that my message contains HTML when opening the Mail app? Or can I format my data like we do when typing an email in a mail client?
Thanks.
I'm not sure about this, but just to give some input. RFC2368 Shows how to format mailto links, specifically how to include headers. One example of a header is "Content-type", which you would want to set to text/html in this case. So something like
mailto:?Content-type=text/html
might just work.
while specific extensions might be available on certain mailto handlers, the relevent text from RFC 2368 - The mailto URL scheme is
The "body" hname should contain the content for the first text/plain body part of the message.
The hname here refers to the 'body' in the 'body=some text' part of the mailto url. You basically get to provide a full set of email headers (name=value pairs) in the mailto url - separated by &'s - 'body' is defined specifically in the rfc to indicate the following text (up until the next separating '&') is the text/plain part of the message. Because there is no schema to add multiparts to an email message, you cannot express the multipart required to add the text/html part.
The only way to add a text/html part to the message would require you to be using a mailto handler that either supported an extended uri syntax, or had some way to allow you to continue programmatically adding content to the email.
I answered that a couple days ago here: How can I send a HTML email from Cocoa?
