<p>HSMF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the Outlook MSG format.</p>
- <p>At this time, it provides simple read access to some of the
- textual content of MSG files. Further support and documentation
- is expected over the comming weeks and months. For now, users
- are advised to consult the unit tests for example use.</p>
+ <p>At this time, it provides low-level read access to all of the file, along
+ with a user-facing way to get at the common textual content of MSG files.
+ to all</p>
+ <p>There is an example MSG textual renderer, which shows how to access the
+ common parts such as sender, subject, message body and examples. This is
+ in the
+ <link href="http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/poi/trunk/src/examples/src/org/apache/poi/hsmf/examples/">HSMF examples area</link>
+ of SVN. You may also wish to look at the unit tests for more use guides.</p>
