Open email files on your Mac. No uploads to our servers. No broken formatting.

MessagePane is a native Mac app that opens, converts, and prints .eml and .msg files. By default, everything is processed locally—your email files are never sent to us. Optional features like remote image loading and header verification only contact the network when you explicitly turn them on.
