Converting Standard Email to HTML files

One day, I need to convert my emails to HTML files. First thing to do is getting File Extension Email from my emails. After googling around I found a software that can run like a POP server in my desktop, retrieving my .eml file extension from my Outlook Express. Sometimes Outlook Express only have .email files, but it can simply renamed as .eml so it can be retrieved. All I need to do is point my email client to this server and check my email. Then, File Extension Email is simply downloaded and ready to be converted.

Next thing to do is converting those .eml files to HTML files so it can be easier to use. With emltohtml I can just point to the folder where I put my .eml files and it simply return html files output. I can review the details of my email with this output, and even upload it to internet or intranet web site. In this form of files, email can be more friendly to look at.

Actually, emltohtml does read RFC-822 compliant email files, that normally have the .eml file extension. It then creates html files, links and copies the emails and also extracts the attachment. It simply reads and convert all from the emails.
