Convert RPMSG to BCM

Understanding rpmsg and bcm file formats

RPMSG files are encrypted email message files used by Microsoft Outlook and Exchange. They contain rights-protected messages, often with restrictions on forwarding, copying, or printing. These files are typically used in enterprise environments to ensure secure communication.

BCM files are associated with Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook. They store business contact data, including customer information, sales leads, and communication history. BCM files are used to manage and organize business relationships within Outlook.
