email - `eml` 文件和 RFC822 电子邮件消息有什么区别？

Question

我看到这两个术语在很多情况下可以互换使用，但一些消息来源说这eml是一种源自 Microsoft Outlook 的文件格式。

emlRFC822 消息的官方文件后缀是否保存为纯文本文件？

Answer 1

There is no official definition of what "eml" means, and different programs use it in different ways. Sometimes people use it to mean RFC822, other times they mean something different. If you mean RFC822 format, say so.
