Ever stumbled upon a file ending in '.eml' and wondered what mysteries it holds? Simply put, an .EML file is essentially a saved email message. Think of it as a snapshot of an email, preserved with all its original glory – the sender, recipient, subject line, date, and of course, the email body, including any formatting and attachments.
These files are created when you save an email message outside of your email client (like Gmail or Outlook). You might do this for archiving purposes, backing up important conversations, or sharing specific emails with others.
Opening an .EML file is usually straightforward. Most email clients can readily open them. Just double-click the file, and it should open in your default email program. If that doesn't work, try right-clicking and selecting 'Open With' and then choosing your preferred email application. Now you're armed with the knowledge to decode those mysterious .EML files!
