extract-msg (<=0.29.*)

[YingxuanW]

To solve this problem, you should git clone it, and modify the following file: /textract-master/requirements/python
extract-msg<=0.29. -> extract-msg<=0.29.0*
And then install by running the following command: pip install -r requirements/python-dev3

[notice] A new release of pip is available: 24.1.2 -> 24.2
[notice] To update, run: pip install --upgrade pip

To install it I localy edit the troubled line to "extract-msg==0.29.*" and install it from the local sources.
