What is the difference between exporting as EML and MSG?

2. MSG is more common in Outlook-related environments and is suitable when the message will continue to be viewed or handled there.
3. If you are not sure which client the recipient uses, EML is usually the safer choice. If the file will be used in Outlook, MSG is often more suitable.

Can I open the exported message in another mail client?

1. Yes. EML files can usually be opened in desktop mail clients that support the format.
2. MSG files are more suitable for environments that support Outlook message files.
3. If double-clicking does not open the file correctly, use the Open or Import command in the target client and select the exported file.

Does the exported file include attachments?

1. The export workflow is used to keep the original message content together with attachment information.
2. After export, you can review the message body and attachments in a client that supports the file format.
