Looking for support for .eml files since the outlook add in natively exports .eml files to Box.

Not planning to enable users to preview .eml files, but happy for "Box for Outlook" to
FORCE users to save emails to Box as .eml, Unable to change this default Emails saving to Box file-extension, and unable to preview them either.Since Box DOES recognise .msg file formats for Preview.... why, oh why, does it make its hard-wired Box to Outlook file-extension as .eml ????????

Just signed my company up for a trial and found out we can't preview .eml files.
This is a deal breaker for me! -

msg files are viewable... why noy eml. And if msg files are only going to be support, why not make the box add-in save in msg format.

We archive project emails in our Project archive on Box. No way to view these emails within the box app or box online. Have to download then open each individually.

Outlook integration only saves emails as .eml but there is no preview for .eml. This is a poorly implemented integration and should be adjusted. Please add to the road map.

We want to confirm the contents of .msg file on browser. It takes a lot of time to open .msg file with Outlook application everytime.
(.msg file can be previewed but the shape or font are broken. Therefore, we hope we can preview it on browser in the same quality we open it with outlook app) -

Previewing both .msg & .eml files is a much needed capability. With the Box / Outlook app integration, this is a no brainer.

Many complaints in our org about the difficulty in the workflow, not being able to preview .eml files on Box.

The box plugin for Outlook saves all of my emails as .eml files, but the only way to view them is to download and open them with my email client. Adding browser preview support for this file type would increase productivity and provide compatibility with the format used when saving files.

For me this is one big missing integration. The Box preview works with much more complex document types, .msg .eml should be easy

Appreciate the ability to preview the unformatted .msg files in the Box previewer to get an idea of the content - however, it would really help for me to be able to see .msg files in their correct formatting or have the ability to open them within Box using outlook

Same as Grant and Matt, it would be beautiful if EML was supported in preview mode in Box !

I agree with Matt. Not being able to preview EML files devalues the ability to save message body in the new Box for Outlook. I'd still advise our staff to use Box Drive to save email body in MSG format. Which is a shame as there are many other benefits to using Box for Outlook. At the moment we're saying 'Box for Outlook is great and you can use it for xyz but if you want to save message body use Box Drive".
Would be great if EML was supported in preview or if Box for Outlook supported saving message body as an MSG

The new Box for Outlook allows users to save the entire email as a .EML file in Box, however the Box Previewer does not support the .EML file type. It would seem logical that if you're going to give us the functionality to save with a particular file type, that you'd also let us preview it.
I currently use Box Drive to save emails from Outlook with the .MSG file type, which has some preview support, at least; it doesn't render very well, but at least I can see the email body text in the Previewer. I hope you'll consider this for the roadmap.
