Our clients say:
"I am very pleased with the product. So far it has passed all of our initial QA tests. I am making use of the tool programmatically as part of a larger custom stand-alone custom legacy content management system migration. The current legacy system stores email content in MSG format. We recommended that we provide that content in the EML and PDF formats during the migration in order to provide more standardized access to this content. This is where your tool fits in. We have successfully integrated your tool into our migration program to facilitate this task for this customer."
