What is a EML File Type?

You can import EML files into a variety of mail programs such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird. You can also open EML files in Internet Explorer since they are formatted in the same way as .MHT files. You can change the extension of the .eml file to .mht and l' open directly in Internet Explorer.
