Why to Convert Email to DOT?
Email to DOT conversion is a useful process for Python developers who are looking to add a feature to their application. Email messages are often sent in the form of an EML file, which is a text-based file format. However, this format is not suitable for editing or formatting. Converting an EML file to a DOT file allows the user to open the file in Microsoft Word and edit it as needed.
