   Regular usage

   For what it's worth, making use of a msg extracts folder:

   cd && % mkdir Documents/msg\ extracts

   Then routinely:

   python -m extract_msg --use-filename --out ~/Documents/msg\ extracts/ 
   

   – and not Return or Enter until after the path to the .msg has been added to the tail of the command.

   Advanced usage

   It would be nice to have automated opening of msg extracts, or the most recently created subdirectory.

   This should easy enough on macOS, however (off topic) I have not figured out how to achieve it on FreeBSD:

   $ open ~/Desktop/
   open: /home/grahamperrin/Desktop/: Could not perform action "open"
   $ open
   Usage: open [-m mime type][-a action] file...
     -m    MIME type to force (default: auto-detected)
     -a    action to call (default: "open")
   $ uname -v
   FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #72 r367936: Sun Nov 22 21:46:00 GMT 2020     root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC-NODEBUG 
   $

   @grahamperrin Are you trying to suggest an addition to the wiki (still very much a work in progress) or are you trying to suggest a feature?

   Food for thought for the wiki :-)

   @grahamperrin I don't understand it. As far as I can tell, it seems to be trying to reference a feature that doesn't exist (defaulting to an "msg extracts" folder). Also, it starts with a section that follows the format of "Doing X then X" which feels like it should be leading to something. Is it trying to say "This is how you do X"?
