Conversion from MSG to EML

Files with a .msg extension are often Outlook email messages. we can convert this to a text based mbox format using msgconvert:

msgconvert mymail.msg

This will produce mymail.eml which can be viewed with any text editor

Assume we have an email in EML format. To read it in a pretty manner use Sublime Text 3 and downloaded and activated the “EML Reader” extension:
