Format Details
EML
EML is a standardized file format for storing individual email messages, defined by the MIME standard (RFC 5322) and used by most email clients. It preserves the complete email including headers, plain-text body, HTML body, and file attachments exactly as they were transmitted. EML files are supported by Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and are commonly used for email archiving, migration, and forensic analysis.
RTF
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a document interchange format developed by Microsoft in 1987 to allow formatted text to be shared across different word processors and operating systems. It encodes text formatting such as fonts, colors, bold, italic, and paragraph alignment using ASCII escape sequences, making it readable by virtually any word processor. RTF remains widely used as a compatibility format when the recipient's software is unknown.
