Opening EML attachments

Can anyone help me I have started receiving attachments in EML rather than word or PDF. I cannot open these attachments can anyone tell me how to do this.

You need an email client like Thunderbird, that will open .eml attachments.
Using the Thunderbird e-mail client - IMAP connection
They are simply complete e-mail messages, and not a document.
You need to make sure that they come from a known source, and are not spam messages.

Cannot open .eml attachments (attached RFC/822 email messages) in iPhone Mail - iOS 5.1

I cannot open attached emails (such as those in .eml format) in iOS mail, but I seem to recall this working in iOS 4. (Can't remember for sure.) Is anyone else having the same problem? For me they just show up as garbled pieces of headers, not even as attachments.
For more information see Can iOS open .eml files?

Am I really the only one out there who cannot open emails attached inside emails on the iPhone? I see 31 people have viewed this so far but no replies.
To make sure this wasn't a problem with my mail provider (an IMAP server on a proprietary Linux box), I also tried sending an email with an attached email to my me.com/iCloud account. Same problem there. The webmail interface on iCloud.com deals with the attachment just fine, but not the Mail app on the iPhone. It doesn't even display as an attachment on the iPhone.

TS1506 Sometimes .eml attachments open and sometimes they don't. Is there a setting to allow them to open?

I have a user that has an iPhone 4s and he cannot open emails that have .eml extensions. I have the latest iPad and we have tried two different messages with an .eml extension and one opens or is viewable when I tap to open the email and the other just shows the attachment at the bottom and when I tap the attachment I get the following message: Mail cannot open this attachment with just OK as option. Is there a setting to allow .eml attachments to open? Why would it be intermittent? THe emails are from two different people. Is it the way they are sending them?

From what I can tell a .eml file is an extension used by Microsoft Outlook. There's plenty of support for this file type on Windows & OS X but on iOS the built-in Mail app seems to have limited support for it.
There is an app on the AppStore than claims to have full support for the .eml extnesion but it's rated a 3 out of 5 so it doesn't seem to work perfectly for everyone. Check the reviews & see if it might be what you're looking for:

If I may I'd like to inquire as to what kind of information your user is sending you; why is it critical that you open an .eml file?
Can the user perform a Copy+Paste of the .eml file's content into a new email to you?
Generally you get a .eml as the result of a "Forward as Attachment" using Outlook, maybe doing a standard Forward would alleviate this issue?

in the "Open With" section select "Mail" from the list and then click the "Change All…" button to make Mail the default application for all .eml files

Mail 6.2 won't open .eml files

Hi
I'm running Mail.app ver 6.2 in OSX 10.8.2 with all the latest upgrades (23 Nov 2012). I'm having an issue opening .eml files/attachments in my mail.app (in OSX, not iOS).
It's my understanding that mail.app has full support for .eml files and I used to open them with no problems before the upgrade to Mountain Lion. When I click to open the files, it displays the envelope animation like if it's going to open it but the window never appears. The only option is to use preview, and that works perfectly, buf if the .eml file has attachments "inside" of it, I can't open them using preview.
There is no error log.
What might be the problem?
I've done permitions repair a couple of times.
The only addons I have installed on mail.app 6.2 are attachment tammer and mailhub.

This discussion suggests a solution.

Opening .eml documents

I get emails with .eml attachments which should use Power Point to open. However, I have not been able to open them with my OSX.4.11 which has Microsoft Ofc for Mac, & for which I downloaded Ofc Open XML Converter for Mac 1.0 this morning, from Apple.Com (which is the 44.6MB version vs the 19.4 Version (Universal) provided by Microsoft.Com).
However, I am still not able to open .eml documents. The snag seems to be that .eml files are encased in a shell. For some reason, none of my programs can break open that shell that contains the .eml doc.
What else can I do to get these docs to open.
Thank you|Robert

PowerPoint does not open .eml files...those are email files, not PowerPoint presentations. .eml files are created by Outlook and Entourage and can only be opened by such apps.
I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and completely unrelated to Microsoft Office.

How can I open all attachments in mail at once?

I use Mail to collect messages from the IMAP server rather than logging in through my university's webmail interface. I often get mail messages with many attachments that all need to be opened at once (example: an admissions application that has 7 or 8 components for me to review). Clicking on each of them separately is a pain, particularly since I have repetitive strain issues, and the various applications needed to open the attachments (Word and Adobe Reader for example) want to grab focus after every click, forcing me to keep switching programs.
Is there any way I can tell Mail to just open all attachments to a message at once?

Try:
Select the attachments you want to open. (Use click, shift click, command click, as usual.) Control-click on (one of) the selected attachments. Then select "Open Selected Attachments".

Can not open email attachments in yahoo mail

I can not open any attachments in my yahoo email account using firefox. However I can open them in IE. Please help!

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Why can't I download or open tif attachments on my iPad Air and IPhone 5s in mail running 7.1.2?

Why can't I open tif attachments on my iPad Air and IPhone 5s in mail running 7.1.2?
Tap to Download icon flashes but does nothing.

I just hooked this thing up to my computer and was able to load new apps and update via the app store that way, installing them onto the iPad via sync. Very annoying though as I cannot make in app purchases etc still.
Wish apple wouldn't pull this kind of junk.

I can't open .mov attachments in mail with ios 7.1? Please help?

Hi
Ever since I downloaded ios 7.1 I can't open .mov attachments in my email. I can email a movie file to myself from the same device and when I click to download it, I get a generic icon and it simply goes to a white screen.
I never had this problem until ios 7.1
Help please?

I my case there is no button - I can't even scroll down. But I also don't get any error message, especially not "domain error 912".
If I try to open the .mov file the screen shows the movie-progressbar (where you can normally scroll through the video) for half a second and then the screen goes gray. In the middle of the gray screen I can see the file name and the text "QuickTime-Film" (german version) and the file size. Underneath is a "play-button" (with no reaction if I click on it) and the buttons for forwarding the movie and the button for airplay. No "Download full message"-button.
Seems that we are having different problems with more or less the same result. Again, it only seems to happen with mail which was sent through MS Exchange and it started with IOS 7.1. Therefore I don't think that we can fix it but I hope that someone from Apple is "listening".
My fault! I misunderstood your posting - I was looking for a "download full message"-Button on the screen AFTER clicking on the movie icon. But you meant the mail itself - and there I found it. Thanx! That also explains why small mail went through without problems but larger didn't.

TS1506 I just updated my IOS to 7.1 and now I can't open Microsoft attachments - I used to always do it. Help - I use my iPad for work and now can't see any attachments.

I just updated my IOS to 7.1 and now I can't open Microsoft attachments - I used to always do it. Help - I use my iPad for work and now can't see any attachments. I've tried opening straight into other apps and just get error messages, and I the mail preview there is just a grey screen telling me the file name and size. It worked fine until I did the IOS upgrade

Nokia 9300i and e65 won't open word attachments

I have a problem opening word documents created with office 2004 for mac on my two nokia smartphones 9300i and e65 when I email (with Mail) them as attachments to the phones.Please note that:
- no problem opening emails with these word attachments on Windows PCs.
- no problem opening these word files on the phones when sent to them via bluetooth.
-no problem opening word attachments whwn emailed to the phones with a PC
- and finally, no problem opening these word attachments on the phones if previously emailed to a PC, saved on it and then emailed backed to the phones.
- I checked the two phones with nokia after sales service and all related email settings, the devices are al ok.
It may be a problem connected to the 10.4.11 update.
Can anybody help?
Thankyou very much
PACucino

P.S.: of course word docs mentioned in my post on this subject and not viewable on the two nokia phones are created on my ibook G4
P.S2: I can only view the email text on the phones not the .doc attachments
please help
thankyou
