Convert Email

Use this page to extract different parts of EML/MSG files. You can convert them to PDF or combine the converted PDFs, if required.

  1. On the menu, click Convert Email. The Test Email Conversion page appears.
  2. In Conversion, select the extraction type for the EML/MSG file:
    Option Description

    GET_MAIN_PARTS

    Extracts the body and all attachments of the EML/MSG file. The attached emails are returned as EML/MSG files.

    GET_NESTED_PARTS Extracts the body and all attachments of the EML/MSG file. The attached emails from mail clients (nested emails) are extracted recursively. Attached EML/MSG files (from folder import) are returned as EML/MSG files.
    GET_EXRACTED_PARTS

    Extracts the body and all attachments of the EML/MSG file. The attached emails are extracted recursively.

    GET_EXRACTED_PARTS_AS_PDF

    Extracts all the parts of the EML/MSG file and converts them to PDF. The attached emails are extracted recursively.

    GET_EXRACTED_PARTS_WITH_DOC2PDF

    Extracts all the parts of the EML/MSG file and converts all non-image parts to PDF. The attached emails are extracted recursively.

    COMBINE_TO_PDF

    Extracts all the parts of the EML/MSG file, converts them to PDF, and then combines the PDFs into a single file. This also includes attached emails.

    The following naming conventions are used in the description of the above fields:

    • Email part: Inline (body) or attachment part of an email.

    • Nested email: Typical email attachment if the email was generated by a mail client (Content-Type == "message/rfc822").

    • EML/MSG File: A message from a folder import saved as an email with file extension as .eml or .msg, but the Content-Type is not "message/rfc822".

    • Email attachment: An umbrella term for “Nested Email” and “attached EML/MSG file”

  3. In File content, click Browse and select the EML/MSG file to extract.
  4. Click one of the convert buttons to display the result:

    • Convert (XML request/response): Displays the result in XML format.

    • Convert (result as table): Displays a table listing all the extracted/converted parts of the EML/MSG file.

    • Convert (open/download result): Displays or downloads the converted file. The converted file is in email format and all the extracted parts are attached to the mail.
