EML is the more universal email format

Unlike MSG (Outlook's proprietary format), EML is an open standard used by most non-Outlook email clients — Apple Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, and exports from webmail services all produce EML files. If you're not using classic Windows Outlook, there's a good chance the file you're holding is EML rather than MSG. For a full breakdown of the difference, see MSG vs. EML.

Because EML is plain-text based rather than a binary compound file, it's technically simpler to parse — but the conversion output works exactly the same way: header, body, and attachments in one PDF.
