Why to Convert EML to ODT
EML (Electronic Mail) is a popular file format used for storing emails. It is widely used by many email clients like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc. ODT (Open Document Text) is a file format used for storing documents. It is an open standard format used by many word processing applications like Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, etc. Converting EML to ODT can be useful for many reasons. For example, it can help to store emails in a more organized way, or to share emails with other users who don’t have access to the same email client.
