Outlook msg extraction fail on Tika date format

I'm trying to get Outlook msg metadata extraction to work. It fails withCaused by: org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.datatype.TypeConversionException: Unable to convert string to date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:17:09 +0100 (CET) at org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.AbstractMappingMetadataExtracter.ma

It already was configurable, redefining bean extracter.Mail to look as extracter.RFC822

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

and it just worked. This issue, http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-2716 logged and resolved helped me here.

When you said Outlook msg. Are you referring to the message/rfc822 mimetype (which normally has the extension .eml) or Outlook msg which has the mimetype of "application/vnd.ms-outlook" and normally has the extension msg.

I meant the application/vnd.ms-outlook (.msg) files.
