What is a EML file?
The extension .EML refers to files of the type Email messages. The EML email files can vary in their structure based on the client program that created these files.
The Eml files follow generally the same structure and allow the users to store message information in the email format. This also allows the user to use various email formatting features and add attachments to the email messages. Generally, these files are exported to the Email processing client software like Microsoft outlook et al. The EML email files are also supported by Microsoft's Internet explorer browser and thus a read-only version of the email can be opened in the browser itself.

How to open EML files
If you cannot open the EML file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports EML among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the EML file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the EML format files
The inability to open and operate the EML file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Email Message Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a EML file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the EML file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the EML from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the EML format
- The EML file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the EML file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a EML file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the EML file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the EML file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the EML file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.EML) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected EML file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the EML file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. EML) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
