Damned EML .eml attachments and a solution
So I remember having to figure this out some time ago, and then forgetting about it since I don't use Microshaft for the most part, but anyway I had to decode an .eml on my GNU/Linux machine today for the first time in a long time and was fortunate enough to find a solution here. Anyway, this solution worked for me.

Although this is an Ubuntu forum this should work with evolution and a simple text editor in general. When I say that I mean these directions:
A big thank you to user 8rdx --
I just ran into this problem w/yahoo and it took me a while to figure it out...
1) Open the attachment in gedit.
2) Scroll down to the "From:" line and copy it.
3) Paste the "From:" line at the very top.
4) Remove the ":" (colon).
5) Save.
6) Drop it back into Evolution.
It SHOULD work. At least it did for me.
If HTML mail looks silly, you may need to allow images:
Edit>Preferences>Mail Preferences>HTML Mail>Load Images
"Always load images from the internet"
Hope this helps! :)
