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.
TXT
TXT (Plain Text) is the simplest possible file format, containing only unformatted characters encoded in ASCII or Unicode with no styling, images, or structural metadata. It is universally compatible with every operating system, programming language, text editor, and application that handles text. Plain text is used for source code, configuration files, README documents, log files, and any situation where maximum simplicity and portability are required.
