  2. MIME / MSG parsing
  3. headers · body · attachments

What @mdgate/email extracts

  • Outlook .msg compound files

Why @mdgate/email

Runs where your JavaScript runs

No separate processing service. The converter is TypeScript you can call from Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, Edge runtimes, and browsers.

Local conversion

EML files can stay inside your application or browser.

Content detection

Recognizes EML files from their contents, not only the filename.

Deterministic parsing

The same EML file produces repeatable Markdown without model inference.

Small runtime surface

No Python. No native addons. No WASM. No third-party runtime dependencies.
