What is a .eml file? How can I open it? This blog has helpful tips for users of our Eml Viewer software who need to search, convert and PDF .eml email files.
Some people prefer the email viewing pane on the bottom, and some prefer to have it on the right hand side. Thankfully, EmlViewer Pro email file viewer (also known now as PstViewer Pro) can accommodate either preference.
Although the default setting is “pane on bottom”, changing it to the right hand side is trivially simple. First, start your EmlViewer Pro software and go to the “Viewing” tab.
Next, find the “Rotate Layout” button, and click on it.
The result is that your email viewing pane is now on the right side of EmlViewer Pro.
Email Viewing Pane on Bottom
There are other settings for changing the look and feel of EmlViewer Pro on the “View” tab. We invite you to play with them and see all of the other layout possibilities.
Email messages are often stored or archived as individual EML files. They contain the email message, sender and receiver information, the internet header data, and any file attachments that were appended to the message.
What if you have a directory filled with hundreds or thousands of EML files and you want to save a copy of all email file attachments to a folder on your hard drive?
One way to approach this project would be to open each .eml file individually, and extract the attachments manually. This labor intensive method doesn’t appeal to me, and probably not to you either (or you wouldn’t be reading this article).
A faster and much more efficient method to bulk extract file attachments from EML files would be to use the “Only Attachments” export operation found in EML Viewer Pro email viewer (download a free 15 day trial).

EML Viewer Pro is a viewer for email content including EML, MSG, PST, OST and MHT files. In addition to accurately rendering your emails, it allows you to perform useful tasks, such as searching, print, exporting to PDF and other formats, and even Reply and Forward our .eml email messages.
To extract file attachments from EML files with EML Viewer Pro, start the software and select the folder containing your .eml files.
In the email list, type CTRL-A to select all of the files.
Select “Only Attachments” from the Export Profile setting, and click the Export Button to start the process (the export button is the green down arrow).
Select “Only Attachments” and click the Export button
When the operation completes, EML Viewer Pro will have saved a copy of all email file attachments to the folder you selected. You can see your email file attachments, and open them up for viewing, printing or editing in the appropriate software. Note that the original .eml file remains intact and are unchanged; only a copy of the file attachments have been saved to your folder.
We’ve also created this step by step video to show you exactly how to use EML Viewer Pro to bulk extract file attachments from your .eml files.
