Zipping emails to forward as attachments

I wanted to forward multiple emails as attachments from my home computer to my laptop, to read while I was away from home. However the forwarding didn't work, ie the messages were not delivered because of the .eml attachments. This may be due to the over-zealous Kaspersky. I will write to Mr Kaspersky separately.

TB advised me to zip the emails and send the zipped file.

Attached is a sample zip file. The zip file contained 10 simple text emails, with small attachments, and was 4.4MB.

Unzipped (using Winzip), the result was a file of 6.6MB called [myname]_c6a98693. Note it had no file type. I added .txt and the attached screenprint is just a small sample of the 4,155 page document (4.6MB) after I transferred it to Word.

With a little help from Mr Google, I created a macro that removed most of the rubbish. I’m not an IT expert so even that process took some time. Then I had a 19 page document that still contained a lot of rubbish fields eg “x-originating-ip”, “x-ms-traffictypediagnostic”, and other meaningless words such as “<SYBP282MB04574E1FBA70 C5DBA6BA83CDA9890@SYBP282MB0457.AUSP282.PROD. OUTLOOK.COM>”. After removing all that (manually), and doing a little extra shrinking, I now have a four page document containing only seven emails - not the original ten that I zipped. what happened to the other three emails?

This entire process took me three and a half hours.

Now I have an additional 30 zip files of emails as attachments, and their total size is 1,245MB.

Getting all those files into a readable state would take me 1,000 hours, ie more than three years, given all the other much more interesting activities in my life.

There has to be a better way to forward multiple emails.

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,

How did you zip them? I am to say the least most confused.

You take the EML files and zip them. You should have when you unzip the same number of EML files.

I can say it is not text so no TXT extension and messing with it in word is only going to consume time.

The EML files when clicked will open in Thunderbird as an email exactly as they were.
