What is EML
EML (Electronic Mail Format) is a text format of content used for encoding email messages.
What is an .EML document
An .EML document is an email message stored in the EML format.
What is an EML file
An EML file can store messages that can contain files inside of them. For instance, an EML file can contain messages in plain text format, HTML format, and attachment files of many types.
Attachment files can be of types like images in PNG, JPEG, GIF, and other image formats; stylesheets in CSS format; and archives that can contain other files. Common archive formats are ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, and TAR.BZ2.
What is an EML File Extension
EML files usually have a name that ends with .eml, like, for instance, message.eml. The .eml part is the file name extension.
Using the same .eml extension in the names of the EML files helps users to determine the type of file just by looking at the names of the files.
What is a MIME Attachment
MIME is a set of standard documents that define how the information of an email message is stored in a .EML file.
A MIME attachment is a file attached to a message stored in the .EML format.

This package can extract the parts of the message. Then you can use the extracted pages to display the message in a web page.
