How to open eml files?

I found that these instructions to be very helpful

For the love of command line tools, instead of the visual/heavy Thunderbird/KMail or Evolution.

sudo apt-get install mpack

Then to extract the eml contents

munpack 1.eml

In my case I need to use -t to get past the following error messages

munpack ./ServerPerformance.eml 
tempdesc.txt: File exists
image001.jpg.2 (image/jpeg)

I then get every thing out like this.

munpack -t ./ServerPerformance.eml 
part1 (text/plain)
part2 (text/html)
image001.jpg.3 (image/jpeg)

I saved attachment after I opened with File->Open Saved Messages... menu in Thunderbird.

If you have Chromium you can drop eml files on it and it will show properly. On my Raspbian Chromiun is default.
