25 Converts Microsoft Outlook .msg files into Haystack Documents.

29 file are extracted as ByteStream objects.

33 ```python
34 from haystack.components.converters.msg import MSGToDocument
35 from datetime import datetime

38 results = converter.run(sources=["test/test_files/msg/sample.msg"], meta={"date_added": datetime.now().isoformat()})
39 documents = results["documents"]
40 attachments = results["attachments"]
