Some time ago I had to parse transport-neutral formatted messages (TNEF) in a language, other than C#, in Delphi. There are lots of solutions in C# on the Internet. But not in Delphi. So I've implemented a class library and published the solution on GitHub. Today I've found another C# project that deals with Microsoft Outlook (MSG) messages. The MSG binary format differs from TNEF. The program reads properties from Outlook MSG files, extracts HTML, and other message parts.

Yet another post about design patterns. If you use the patterns in your code, please check out this big article that might help you to tackle certain problems in certain situations. 😲 I know guys who learned patters one-by-one to quickly apply them when coding. To be honest, I didn't learn design patterns so closely, but used some of them, such as Singleton and Visitor. In fact, they was helped me a lot. The article covers, I think, the most of possible design patterns and provides good code examples. The examples are not in C#, but in fact, they allow to catch the main idea of the pattern.
