Photorec doesn't list all file extensions

I am trying to recover some mbox and *.msf files which I checked and are supported.

However, every time I go into photorec, and under file options, it doesn't list those file extensions for selection. Could someone please offer some guidance?

I tried both the latest 7.2, and 7.1

Running Debian 11.

The menu list file families, not file extensions. mbox is part of the tx? file family.

Code: Select all

 [X] ttf  TrueType Font
 [X] tx?  Text files with header: rtf,xml,xhtml,mbox/imm,pm,ram,reg,sh,slk,stp,jad,url
 [X] txt  Other text files: txt,html,asp,bat,C,jsp,perl,php,py/emlx... scripts
 [X] tz   Timezone info

Thank you for this, and would you know what family msf files belong to?

MSF is listed as Mozilla mork database, and I was unable to find this in the list

I don't know either. But by searching the forum with the keyword "MSF" I found:
