# Extract Subfiles from Outlook Files

When you extract an Outlook file (MSG) to disk, the message text and header information (`To`, `From`, `Sent`, and so on) is extracted to a text file. (If you do not want the header information to appear in the text file, see Exclude Metadata from the Extracted Text File.) If the Outlook file contains a non-mail attachment, the attachment is extracted in its native format to a subdirectory. If the Outlook file contains a mail attachment, the attachment’s message text is extracted to a subdirectory.
