Mike,
An .eml file is in reality a .txt file.

Hi Dan,
After reading this message a little closer , I don't want to just change
the
.EML file extension to a .TXT file extension. I want to convert the .EML
files to either .DOC or .TXT files. I don't want to have to weed through
all that extraneous HTML crap to find the hidden message. I do like your
suggestion because it will definitely come in handy at some point.
Hopefully I'll get either the Total Mail or the Outlook Express converter
figured out! Thanks again, take care.
Mike

HI,
I looked this up on the internet and found the following:
If you rename a .eml file to .txt then you can use notepad and the like
to
view the contents. they are only typed as .eml so that windows will use
a
browser to view their contents.
I tried this and found that it does indeed work. However, doing this
also
includes all the routing and tagging info at the beginning and end of the
content. If the email was composed in html then you'll have to search
for
the first line beginning with a < symbol to find the beginning of the
actual
content. I removed the routing and tagging info and renamed it as .html
and
was able to view the email content in a browser. This enabled me to also
use header and table and other navigation methods.
If you really want the content in a .txt file you could view it in a
browser
and copy it from their to a .txt file.
I do not have any saved emails in text format so I do not know what you
see
after renaming to a .txt file.
To make the renaming easier for large numbers of files you could do the
following:
open a command prompt.
issue a cd command to the folder holding the .eml files.
issue a rename *.eml *.txt(or htm).
This will rename all the .eml files in the current folder.
I hope this helps you out.

Hi All,
First, I'm running XP & Jaws 10 thru 13. I have several thousand .EML
files
I would like to convert to .TXT or .DOC files. Does anyone know where I
can
get a converter that is Jaws accessible, that can do this job? All help
will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care.
Mike
