- Convert EML to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to TEXT format using Save method and set Text as SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Format APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load the EML file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.eml");
// save EML as a HTML
msg->Save(u"HtmlOutput.html", SaveOptions::get_DefaultHtml());
// load HTML with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"HtmlOutput.html");
// call save method while passing Text as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Text");
Parse EML File via C++
Not only you can convert your EML to TEXT, but you can read, manipulate, and parse EML document. You can get subject, address, body, recipients information of the email by using MapiMessage class of Aspose.Email for C++ API. For example, you can check for a specific sender email for the conversion by using get_SenderEmailAddress() property.
// create an instance of MapiMessage from file
System::SharedPtr<MapiMessage> msg = MapiMessage::FromFile(dataDir + L"message.eml");
// get subject
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Subject:") + msg->get_Subject());
// get from address
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"From:") + msg->get_SenderEmailAddress());
// get body
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Body") + msg->get_Body());
// get recipients information
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Recipient: ") + msg->get_Recipients());
C++ API to Restrict TEXT File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from EML to TEXT. Adding protection to your document is a simple process, as all you need to do is apply the protection method to your document. You can set protection type to ReadOnly to restrict the user to edit the document.
// create a new document and protect it with a password.
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>();
// apply Document Protection.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::ReadOnly, u"password");
// save the document.
doc->Save(u"DocumentProtection.PasswordProtection.Text");

What is EML File Format?
The EML file format, standing for Electronic Mail, is a widely used file format for storing email messages. It is primarily associated with email clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Windows Mail. EML files contain the entire contents of an email message, including the sender and recipient information, subject, date, attachments, and the message body.
EML files are formatted in plain text and adhere to the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard, which allows for the inclusion of various types of content within an email message, such as text, images, and attachments. This makes EML files highly versatile and compatible with different email clients and platforms.
The EML format is commonly used for archiving or transferring individual email messages. It provides a convenient way to store emails as separate files, making it easier to organize and retrieve specific messages when needed. EML files can be opened and viewed in compatible email clients, allowing users to read and interact with the contents of the email message.
Furthermore, EML files can be easily shared via email or other file transfer methods. They preserve the original formatting, ensuring that the recipient sees the email exactly as it was sent, including any attachments or embedded images.
In addition to being used for individual email messages, EML files are also used in email migration and backup processes. They allow for the transfer of email messages between different email clients or the creation of backups to safeguard important communications.
