RTF to EMLX conversion in your Python Applications without installing Microsoft Word® or Outlook.
Why to Convert RTF to EMLX?
RTF (Rich Text Format) is a document file format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It is used to store formatted text and graphics and is supported by a wide range of word processing applications. EMLX is an email file format used by Apple Mail. It is used to store emails in a single file. Converting RTF to EMLX can be useful for a Python developer who wants to add a feature to their application that allows users to convert RTF documents to EMLX format.

Aspose.Total for Python via .NET is a full package of various APIs dealing with different formats including Email, Images and Microsoft Word formats. It includes Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and Aspose.Email for Python via .NET APIs which makes the conversion of RTF to EMLX easy using Python. The conversion process is a two-step process. Firstly, the Word file is loaded and rendered into HTML via Aspose.Words for Python via .NET. Secondly, the converted HTML is loaded using Aspose.Email for Python via .NET and saved into EMLX format. This process can be automated using the Aspose.Total for Python via .NET API.
