Can I access MSG files without Outlook on my system?

Is it possible to access and read MSG files on my system without installing Microsoft Outlook? I need a simple way to open email messages, view attachments, and check content without using Outlook. Are there any reliable methods or tools that allow easy access to MSG files independently?

Entering “open source .msg viewer” does return a few hits.

Here’s one of them; GitHub - Rasalas/msg-reader: Simple tool that allows you to view *.msg files from "Old MS Outlook". "New MS Outlook" requires an "Office 365" subscription to open .msg-Files, but hasn't implemented any way to confirm an active subscription, yet (it seems). · GitHub
