Download .EML Viewer Lite. Try it Free 15 for Days

MessageViewer Lite is a simple .eml viewer with excellent email rendering abilities. MessageViewer Lite is capable of opening .eml files, Outlook .msg files and winmail.dat files.

First, a bit of background.

Outlook Express (OE) is an email client that Microsoft distributed with its popular Microsoft Windows XP operating system. With XP still commanding about 40% of the desktop operating system market, Outlook Express remains an important email client for millions of people

Saving individual emails from Outlook Express produces a file with the .EML extension. .EML files are an open email format specified in RFC-822 and RFC-2822. In a single file, they can contain the email message (text and html formatting), the message header, message path information, time/date information, file attachments, and other bits and bobs of information.

When someone wants to share an email message and its attachments from OE they may save it as a .eml file and then attach it to another email message. Sometimes, .eml files are attached to a customer record in customer relationship software to remain part of the contact history. If an email client capable of opening .eml files is not present on the computer when someone tries to open the .eml file, then the user may see an error message. Being unable to open a .eml file at the moment its needed can be frustrating and unproductive.

A .eml file viewer can make it easy to open .eml files, even if Outlook Express or another capable email client is not installed on the computer. EML file viewers can be very light, with a small software footprint, unlike a full email client package.
