open .eml files – .Eml Viewer | Working with .EML Email Files

EML Viewer Pro (also known as PstViewer Pro or MailDex) is a versatile Windows software app. You can use it to manage, search and view emails that are formatted in a variety of common formats, including .EML, .MSG, .MHT, .PST, .OST and .OLM files.

One of the nice features of EML Viewer Pro is its ability to convert and export email messages from one format to another. With the latest release, you can now export email message content to .EML format. .EML files are formatted according to the RFC-822 spec. As an open format, it is supported by most email clients, including Windows Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird. Because it is an open, non-proprietary format it may be useful to convert emails into .EML files for purposes of email archiving, long term preservation or sharing.

Here’s how to convert Outlook .Msg files into .EML files using EML Viewer Pro.

First, open EML Viewer Pro, and find the folder containing your Outlook .msg files. Click on the folder, and EML Viewer Pro will read in the msg files and display them in the main list. Select any listed email message to view it in the reading pane. Double click on an email to open it in full screen view.

Select the emails you want to convert into .EML files. To select a message, you click on it. To select multiple messages, hold down the control key, and click on the messages you want. To choose all of the emails in the list, type Control-A on your Windows keyboard. Messages that are selected are shown in the list with a blue highlight.

Export EML to PDF

EML Viewer Pro is a great tool for export EML files to PDF format. Using the Export functionality on the toolbar, you can easily exported your selected email messages to PDF and other formats.

Select the emails to convert in the mail list, choose the desired Export Profile (such as PDF – attachments embedded which will convert your selected email to PDF format), then click the Export button (green down arrow). EML Viewer Pro will go to work exporting your email messages.

EML Viewer Pro lets you perform four specific EML to PDF operations:

EML Files can be exported with file attachments extracted.
Embed file attachments within the PDF file. This means that the file is stored within the PDF as a separate file which can later be extracted by any standards compliant PDF viewer (like Adobe Reader).
You can also convert most file attachment within a .eml file into the PDF image. If an attachment is unable to be converted, it will then be embedded within the PDF file to preserve the context.
Export EML files individually to an existing PDF file. This means you can individually export email messages as you discover them, to a single PDF file.

Download a free trial of EML Viewer Pro and use it for 15 full days, with no obligation.
