Possible to preview EML files?

I have found myself attaching .eml files to items stored in 1Password. Mainly flight/hotel/ticket booking confirmation emails. Would it be possible to allow a preview of these when they are clicked on iOS rather than just a useless page stating it's filesize? I know iOS provides the extension list but Mail's "Open with Mail" extension opens the Mail app but doesn;t actually do anything with the file.

Surely 1Password could at least use 1Browser to show a preview so I can get access and display these files when offline and out and about.

  • Hi @rctneil,

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure of the feasibility of such a thing, but I'll certainly pass the suggestion along to our developers for their consideration.

    Thanks!

    @bwoodruff Ok, Could you recommend a way for me to view these files from 1Password on iOS? As they are important documents and mostly needed without network access when I am away then I need a good way to view them and I doubt i'm the only one attaching these types of files to 1Password items.

    Thanks

  • Hi @rctneil,

    I'm not aware of a viewer for EML files for iOS. I did a little googling about and didn't find very encouraging results:

    I did find reference to one 3rd party utility that is supposed to do it, but their web page isn't loading for me:

    At this point the only recommendation I'd be able to give would be to use a natively supported file format such as PDF. If these are email messages that you're wishing to attach OS X Mail can print to PDF from the File > Print menu.

    Thanks.

    Ok, I guess i'll switch to using PDF's instead. Thanks but my suggestion still stands.

  • Understood. Thanks! :)
