Email to Markdown

Convert .eml and Outlook .msg files into Markdown: sender, recipients, date and subject, the message body, and every attached PDF, Word or Excel file converted inline.

  • EML & Outlook MSG
  • Attachments converted
  • HTML or text body

What the email converter keeps

  • Headers: from, to, cc, date and subject.
  • Body: HTML mail converted to Markdown, or the plain-text body.
  • Quoted replies: kept as block quotes.
  • Attachments: listed with their size, and documents among them (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV...) are converted too.
