What is MBOX File Format?
The MBOX file format is a standard format for storing and organizing email messages in a concatenated format within a single file. It typically consists of a collection of email messages, each separated by a “From” header, making it a common choice for archiving and transferring emails across different email clients and systems.
What is HTML File Format?
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a standard language used to create and format documents on the web. HTML files contain code that defines the structure and content of a web page, including text, images, links, and other elements. By using tags enclosed in angle brackets, web developers can create visually appealing and interactive web pages that can be displayed in web browsers. HTML files are saved with a “.html” or “.htm” extension and can be opened in any web browser. With the ability to combine HTML with CSS and JavaScript, developers can design dynamic and responsive websites for a better user experience.
