How to Convert EML to OTT in Python

Open the source EML file using MailMessage.load class
Call the save method while specifying output HTML file path and relevant HTML Save options as parameter. So your EML file is converted to HTML at the specified path
Now Load the saved HTML file using Document
Call the save method with relevant file path. So finally the EML is converted

Conversion Requirements
