Email Viewer guide

Getting started with Email Viewer

Email Viewer opens email files (.eml) saved from a mail program. You can read the message, save its attachments and keep it as a PDF. The file is read in your browser and never leaves it.

Open Email Viewer

Open an email

Each message opens in its own tab under the toolbar. Choose a tab to switch, and its × to close it. The same file is not opened twice.

1. Drop one or more .eml files on the page.
2. Or choose Open (Ctrl+O) at the top, or Open .eml files on the empty page, and pick the files.
3. To look around first, choose Try it with a sample email.

Read the message

The subject is at the top, then who sent it, who it went to and when.

When an email has both an HTML body and a plain text body, use the HTML and Plain text buttons to switch. The View menu has the same choices.

Remote images are blocked: the app loads nothing from the network. If the email carries its own pictures (such as a logo), choose Show embedded images to see them.

Save the attachments

Two or more files are saved together in one ZIP named after the email.

1. Scroll down to Attachments. Each file shows its name, type and size.
2. Choose a file's name to preview it, or Save to download it.
3. Tick some files and choose Download selected, or choose Download all.

Print the email or save it as a PDF

Convert to PDF keeps the text of the email, not its layout or pictures. Use Print, and Save as PDF in the browser's print dialog, to keep the layout.

1. Choose Print to open the headers and the body in a print window. Allow pop-ups for the page if the browser asks.
2. Or choose Convert to PDF, keep or untick List the attachment names at the end, and choose Save PDF.
