eml format, linux
Hello, Newbie attempting to view EML files unsuccessfully, with Linux.
I can view the file from Thunderbird,but after I save the ".eml file" it becomes unreadable or generally will not open at all. Any assistance from you to help me along the way will be greatly appreciated. |
I see .eml files only within e-mail operations---eg forwarding a message. I'm not sure why you would ever need to open one directly.
If you save the file, can you open it from within Thunderbird? (File--->Open Saved Message) <<Edit: yes you can---I just tried it.....>> |
Did you try to open it with a text viewer?
The .eml file is plain text message, so you will have no preblem opening with vi, emacs, o whatever program you like :) |
You can load a text email from the thunderbird program just file. An html email won't be displayed properly.
You could extract the html body and view the results in a web browser: cat ~/bin/eml2html Code:
email="$1" I don't know if this would work on all emails however, but it is worth a try. |
