Description
Someone sends you an .eml file, you have no mail client installed, and a double click either asks which app to use or opens a wall of raw text in Notepad. EML Viewer is a tiny portable tool that does one job: it shows an .eml message like a normal email, with sender, recipient, subject, body and attachments laid out clearly, so you do not need a full mail program.
It reads EML files saved by programs such as Outlook Express and Thunderbird. Once a message is open you can print it, check and extract its attachments, or export the whole thing to HTML or TXT. It is a green build that runs straight from the extracted folder, the interface comes in English, French, German and Russian, and the author states it is free to use and redistribute.
View messages directly: open an .eml and see sender, recipient, subject, date and body, with HTML mail rendered properly
CC and BCC: CC and BCC addresses are shown too, so you do not have to dig through the raw source
Attachments: open attachments from the message or save them to a folder you choose
Export and print: export a message as an HTML or TXT file, or print it directly
Drag and drop and command line: drop an .eml into the window to open it, and a command line option extracts attachment details to CSV in bulk
Message source: a Source button shows the raw message, handy when you need to inspect mail headers
Portable: the archive is a few hundred KB, runs from a USB drive after unzipping, and the language switches between English, French, German and Russian
