I think that the internal format of an EML file is supposed to follow the standard RFC 822/2822/5322 MIME format, although I wouldn't be sure that the ones generated by Microsoft software follow the RFC to the letter. I'm no expert, but it sure looks like a standard mail message to me... RFC 5322 does not specify the EML extension. However, having a special file extension for it is useful, since you can (theoretically at least) store messages as easily identified stand-alone files. Replacing it with a generic TXT file extension is in most cases less useful. If you want EML files to open by default in Notepad instead of Seamonkey, you can always change the file association in Windows. Seamonkey can both save messages as .EML files and parse them in the browser, displaying the headers. Unfortunately, I didn't find a convenient way to import EML messages to the mail clients (the way you can do it in Outlook Express by the simple expedient of dropping them in a folder, for instance). -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
