Convert DOT to EML using Python
DOT to EML conversion in your Python Applications without installing Microsoft Word® or Outlook.
Why to Convert
The DOT file format is a proprietary file format used by Microsoft Word to store documents. It is not compatible with other applications and hence it is necessary to convert it to a more widely accepted format like EML. EML is an email message format used by many email clients and services. It is an open standard format and hence can be used by any application.
How Aspose.Total helps for dot to eml conversion
Aspose.Total for Python via .NET is a full package of various APIs dealing different formats including Email, Images and Microsoft Word formats. It provides two APIs, Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and Aspose.Email for Python via .NET, which can be used to automate the conversion process from DOT to EML. The process involves two steps, firstly loading the Word file and rendering it into HTML via Aspose.Words for Python via .NET. Secondly, loading the converted HTML using Aspose.Email for Python via .NET and saving it into EML format. This makes the conversion process easy and efficient for Python developers.

- Call the save method with relevant file path. So finally the DOT is converted
