There's a metadata extractor for RFC822 messages. (which are what .eml messages are)

This can extract values from the message header and put them into properties of your choosing.

Thanks for the response, but I can't extract the metadata by the action "Extract common metadata fields".
I look into the <WEB-INF>/classes/alfresco/content-services-context.xml and there's this XML lines:


<bean id="extracter.Mail"          class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.MailMetadataExtracter"          parent="baseMetadataExtracter" />
<bean id="extracter.RFC822"        class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.RFC822MetadataExtracter"        parent="baseMetadataExtracter" >
      <property name="supportedDateFormats">
         <list>
            <value>EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>

<bean id="transformer.OutlookMsg"
         class="org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.MailContentTransformer"
         parent="baseContentTransformer" />

   <bean id="transformer.RFC822"
         class="org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.EMLTransformer"
         parent="baseContentTransformer" />
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

That seam to be all already configured, so why I can't extract the metadata information?

VERY THANKS

I have the same problem. This is the alfresco.log:

It seems to be correlated with this
