Question asked on Mar 13, 2014

Hello,

I dragged a message from Outlook into Finder, which created an EML file on my hard drive.

I now tried to open that EML file (by double clicking it) and what happens is that my Outlook hangs for ~10 seconds, then it opens a new message with the EML file as an attachment. However, the attached EML file (within the new email) is completely blank and showing as 0 KB in size. In Finder the EML file is 258 KB and the preview shows the correct content.

How can I open and view EML files?

Thank you!
