Unable to extract .msg attachment files from an email

Hello,

I have a Power Automate flow which gets triggered when an email is sent to a specific Inbox. Upon receiving this email, it then tries to save the email with attachments to a SharePoint document folder. This email contains attachments that are email messages themselves. So a typical email would consist of a number of .msg attachments. My Power Automate flow refuses to extract those. I've tried using the "Export Email (V2)" action, which does save the email with all of the attachments. However, a subsequent Power Automate flow which contains "Get File Content" action, does not find any attachments in that saved email.

I've also tried using the "Get Attachments (V2)" action. This action however, though runs successfully, does not export any attachments.
Is there a way to extract .msg or .eml attachments from an email?

I've included my Power Automate flow and a sample email.

Thanks so much,

Alex
