You can easily convert a message to eml file in Outlook via Save as option but it is suitable if you need to convert only some specific emails. If you want to export multiple messages to EML file in Outlook then it takes lot of time to complete the process. To convert multiple Outlook emails to EML, try Advik Outlook PST Converter. The software allows you to save all Outlook emails as EML files at once without any data loss.

This is a stupid solution. Everyone knows how to change the file extension. The concern should be about saving the header content.

This is such a stupid and useless way to do it, you may as well copy-paste the text into Notepad and save it as an .eml file...
