Shunxiang Wu · Journal of Computer Applications · 2008
The E-mail data files kept by Outlook Express (OE) contain the rich personal information. So mining and analyzing the useful clues inside has become a significant means and research area for the computer investigation and forensics. The foremost is to parse the encoded data files, and then restore all the mail information. Aiming at the problem, a solution that we adopt the COM component interfaces of OE to parse these mail data files was presented, avoiding the troubles of research on their encoding format and complex internal logical structure.
