An EML file is an email file that contains not only the text body of an email but also attachments and formatting. The EML file can be read by an email application such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook. In reality .eml file type is the Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express native file type for emails even though other email programs make use of EML file extension. But one of the disadvantage of this file type is that it can easily get infected with the viruses and as a consequence of this, it gets deleted off computer in which it is been saved.
