Convert EML to MOZEML

Understanding eml and mozeml file formats

EML files are standard email message files created by email clients like Microsoft Outlook, Windows Mail, and Mozilla Thunderbird. They store the content of an email, including attachments, headers, and formatting, in a plain text format based on the MIME RFC 822 standard.

MOZEML files are proprietary email message files used by Mozilla Thunderbird for exporting and importing individual email messages. While similar to EML, MOZEML files are specifically tailored for Thunderbird's internal use and may include additional metadata for compatibility with the application.
