Display .eml file in browser

I am trying to pull binary from my sql which creates a .eml file which I can open in outlook no problem. I am looking to have it vieable within a browser some how.

Any suggesstions or free SDKs out there that will help with it.

Just need the .eml mime displayed in the web browser. If I could parse it I am sure it would be easier but having trouble parsing it as well.

Thanks,

I don't know (never looked for) free components to parse .eml.

But I am aware of this commercial product: http://www.aspose.com/.net/email-component.aspx

But apparently, you can use CdoSys to parse them: http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/310224

From what I've found, an EML file is structurally equivalent to a MHT file. You could output the file extension and MIME type of the document as MHT and it should display in a web browser.

The MIME type for both EML and MHT would be "message/rfc822".

I found a library that is helping out but i am reaching an issue maybe you all could help.

I found a library called lumisoft and have good luck with alot of things however.

I am having trouble pulling the "To" or "From" I know im doing something wrong

This is in c#

 Mail_Message msg = Mail_Message.ParseFromFile(@"C:\Users\cgashlin.MORGANFINANCIA0\Desktop\{70FD9BE6-3B4E-4D07-BECA-C7F79A89C1E6}.eml");
            textBox2.Text = msg.Subject;
            //textBox3.Text = msg.BodyHtmlText;
            webBrowser1.DocumentText = msg.BodyHtmlText;
            textBox1.Text = msg.MessageID;

Open in new window

The above code works but i cannot do the following -

textBox1.Text=msg.To;

Open in new window

I get the following error and i cant figure it out -
Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'LumiSoft.Net.Mail.Mail_t_AddressList' to 'string'
