[agurodriguez]

Feature Request?

Does this feature exist in another mail client or tool you use?

Outlook

Hey! What is the purpose of these files? Why should Mailspring open them? Gonna close this until there's a reason provided.

Hey @bengotow, sorry for the short description, I thought those email file formats were more popular.

Both are file formats used by Microsoft Outlook to save an email. eml saves an email message using MIME RFC 822 format, and it's also used in other mail clients such as Apple Mail to export threads/messages to the fs.

Here are some links that provides more info:

Cheers!

Hi.

There are workspaces that use .msg and .eml files as attachments, like user requests, system request, bug evidence, etc. Would be very useful can open these formats in Mailspring.

Where I work today people love to use .msg files instead of a more universal format as .pdf :disappointed:. Although .eml would be great too, since is more acceptable by e-mail applications.

The "eml" file format is actually the most common email file type, thunderbird saves them by default. And if one wants to archive a one particular e-mail to disk, there have to be an option to save the message to file. It is very common in enterprise use that one have to transfer email to at least some file format, for example to attach it into CRM or ERP software used.

The best thing it is you can just dump the output you get from IMAP/POP3 server and you'll get an eml file.

Hopefully Mailspring will get saving and opening functionality for eml files.
