Explaining File Extension .EML

 

What is an EML?

The .EML file extension is E-mail message saved by Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Used by many email clients including...

• Windows Live Mail
• Windows Mail
• IncrediMail and
• Mozilla Thunderbird

An .EML file may enclose headers in plain MIME or ASCII text, main body of the letter which may include attachments and hyperlinks to particular websites. These attachments may be in the structure of pictures, documents, videos, spreadsheets or PDF files.

 

.EML files can also be handled by supplementary programming languages like JavaScript and Visual Basic. But in basic computers, some errors in the registry files will mean incorrect file association to .EML files. Outside of Outlook Express and Microsoft Outlook, one may try to open files with the .EML extension. In normal cases, the user will just double-click on the file and the computer will automatically find the accurate program to open the file. Otherwise, the computer will prompt a question asking the user on which program to use in opening the file. If you get this prompt, then it’s time to check errors in the registry files.

 

.EML files can also be opened by other programs like Mozilla Thunderbird in Linux platforms, IndrediMail, Apple Mail in Mac computers, Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail, Encryptomatic Message Viewer Lite, BitDaddys emlOpen ViewFree and QuickMail Pro.
