Using Eml2mbox Download eml2mbox (link in Resources), then double-click the downloaded archive to open it and drag the "eml2mbox.rb" file to the directory containing the EML files you want to convert.

Better safe than sorry. Some file types stripped by my SMTP proxy are useless to the users (com, js, chm, cmd, cpl, bat, and 30-40 others). Useful ones that I strip are EXEs (no choice), eml and html.
