Reader Robert submitted a phishing email (msg file).

.msg files are compound file binary format files (aka ole files), and as such can be analyzed with oledump.py.

And I have plugins specific for .msg files: plugin_msg.py and plugin_msg_summary.py.

Robert's submission inspired me to add a small feature to plugin_msg_summary: it will now search through all streams for URLs, and report them.

This way, one can now immediately see the phishing URLs in phishing emails:
