How to read a .EML file in vb.net. I try opening it as notepad but some part of the email got encrypted. Can I have some ideas from anybody there on how to read this kind of file? Any idea would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

EML file is very reasonable; unlike many other format for mail messages, this is exactly the single-message package which is actually transmitted through the mail system.

As to the encryption — I doubt it. If the recipient of the message can read it you can do it, too, unless the two performed key exchange in the past (in which case, you would not be able to decrypt anything even if you spied on key exchange, in case of proper encryption technology).

Maybe, post the header of the "encrypted" part and the beginning of the "encrypted code" itself. I suspect it's not the encryption...
(Use "Improve question".)

I tried reading the .eml file as notepad but the body part of the .eml file is something like jumbled letters.

Example:

By the way, thanks you very much for giving some of your time about this. That's much appreciated. Thanks
