    An email PDF is a reading copy

    The converter typesets supported saved headers and plain-text content. It does not fetch remote images, open attachments, authenticate the sender or recreate a mail client view. Keep the original EML when headers, MIME structure or attachments are part of the evidence you need.

    Part selection affects what appears

    A multipart email may include plain text, HTML and attachments. The supported plain-text body is used and attachments are omitted. Compare the printed body with the original before forwarding it, especially when important material was only in an attachment.

    Are attachments included in the PDF?

    Why is an HTML-only email refused?

    There is no supported plain-text body to print.
