# Description of Changes
Note on Simple Java Mail:
- SJM contains Angus/Jakarta Mail in it.
- SJM is a very thin layer on Angus Mail; see here:
https://github.com/bbottema/simple-java-mail
- SJM gives high level methods to more reliably parse in email via Angus
Mail, but also contains lots of other interesting features.
- SJM is Apache 2 licensed
This pull request updates the email processing utilities to add support
for parsing and validating Outlook MSG files, refactors the
`EmlProcessingUtils` utility class to use instance methods and improved
resource management, and enhances the handling and styling of generated
email HTML. The changes also introduce external CSS resource loading
with a fallback mechanism, and update dependencies to support MSG file
parsing.
**MSG file support and validation:**
- Added `simple-java-mail` and `outlook-module` dependencies to enable
EML and MSG file parsing, and updated validation logic to recognize and
accept MSG files by checking their magic bytes.
(`app/common/build.gradle`, `EmlProcessingUtils.java`)
**Refactoring and modernization of `EmlProcessingUtils`:**
- Converted static methods and fields in `EmlProcessingUtils` to
instance methods/fields, improving testability and future extensibility.
(`EmlProcessingUtils.java`)
**Enhanced HTML/CSS styling for email rendering:**
- Updated HTML generation to use consistent formatting and improved
style variable usage, and refactored CSS injection to load from an
external resource (`email-pdf-styles.css`) with a synchronized cache and
a minimal fallback if the resource is missing.
(`EmlProcessingUtils.java`)
**Attachment and content rendering improvements:**
- Improved the formatting of meta-information (e.g., CC, BCC, Date) and
attachment sections in generated email HTML, and ensured more robust
handling of empty or missing content. (`EmlProcessingUtils.java`)
**General code cleanup and logging:**
- Added SLF4J logging for error handling when loading CSS resources, and
cleaned up imports and method signatures for clarity and
maintainability. (`EmlProcessingUtils.java`)
