Is it possible to read .eml files in .net

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to parse .eml and .msg files in dot net (preferably from a memorystream) such that I can use them on an ASP.Net page.

Answer 1

Yes you can. They are just regular text files, nothing fancy.

This is what an eml file looks like on the inside

X-Sender: somewhere@google.com
X-Receiver: somewhere@google.com
MIME-Version: 1.0
From: somewhere@google.com
To: somewhere@google.com

This is the body
