EML is a file format for storing individual email messages as defined by RFC 2822 (Internet Message Format). An EML file contains the complete email including all headers (From, To, Subject, Date, Message-ID), the message body in plain text or HTML, and any attachments encoded inline using MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) with Base64 encoding. EML is the standard format used by email clients to save and export individual messages.

EML files use a text-based format where attachments are encoded as Base64 strings within the same file, making each EML file a complete self-contained representation of an email. The MIME multipart structure allows a single EML to contain multiple content types — text, HTML, images, and binary attachments. EML files can be opened directly in most email clients and are the interchange format between different email programs.

EML files are supported by Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Windows Mail, and most other email clients for direct import. On any platform, EML files can be opened as text files to view the raw RFC 2822 content. Dedicated EML viewers are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Converting EML to ZIP packages the message and extracts embedded attachments as separate files.

EML is useful as an archival format for individual emails, but converting to ZIP extracts the embedded attachments as separate files for easier access. LetsConvert can process EML files and convert their contents to standard archive formats, making embedded attachments accessible without an email client.
