            I found that these instructions to be very helpful



            For the love of command line tools, instead of the visual/heavy Thunderbird/KMail or Evolution.



            sudo apt-get install mpack


            Then to extract the eml contents



            munpack 1.eml


            In my case I need to use -t to get past the following error messages



            munpack ./ServerPerformance.eml 
            tempdesc.txt: File exists
            image001.jpg.2 (image/jpeg)


            I then get every thing out like this.



            munpack -t ./ServerPerformance.eml 
            part1 (text/plain)
            part2 (text/html)
            image001.jpg.3 (image/jpeg)

              • Save the .eml file in any place in your computer.


              • Install this plug-ins here. (see important note you can import EML files in IMAP accounts).



                To install the extension, follow this procedure:




                • download the xpi file that you find in this page or in the homepage, right clicking on the link and choosing "Save target as";

                • in Thunderbird, go in "Tools" ➜ "Addons" (or "Extensions") and click on "Install";

                • pick the xpi file you downloaded and follow the instructions;



              • Restart Thunderbird.


              • Go to Tools ➜ ImportExportTools ➜ Import eml File and find your file.

                I've got the same issue in my company: one operator was forwarding a mail using Windows 10 Mail software and the other operator was unable to open the attached .eml file with Thunderbird.



                Simply let Thunderbird re-forward the message back to the Thunderbird operator, like if you're forwarding the message to yourself, fixed the issue, actually i was able to see every attachment of the original message plus the true .eml file content.

                                          I've got the same issue in my company: one operator was forwarding a mail using Windows 10 Mail software and the other operator was unable to open the attached .eml file with Thunderbird.



                                          Simply let Thunderbird re-forward the message back to the Thunderbird operator, like if you're forwarding the message to yourself, fixed the issue, actually i was able to see every attachment of the original message plus the true .eml file content.
