Summary
This PR adds support for retrieving the MAPI
PR_CONVERSATION_INDEXproperty from message objects in the Python bindings.Motivation
The conversation index is a critical property for email threading and conversation tracking in Microsoft Outlook/Exchange PST files. This property was previously inaccessible through pypff, making it difficult to reconstruct email conversation threads or perform thread-based analysis of PST files.
