Description

I have just uploaded a .msg (application/vnd.ms-outlook) file which contains some valuable e-mail text to Docspell.
Unfortunately, Docspell couldn't extract the contents.

Fri, July 8th, 2022, 11:45: Cannot extract text from file MyMail.msg: unsupported format application/vnd.ms-outlook. Try with converted file.

There should be some kind of fallback which uses Tika's Content extractor, to at least get/index some valuable text.

I am sure there are other file-/mime types, which Tika can extract from as a fallback.

Such a feature could be used as a last resort, if no text could be extracted at all by docspell (pdfbox)

Thank you for considering.
