How can I export multiple emails as html files?

more options

This seems like a no-brainer. I should be able to export MULTIPLE emails as HTML files. I can't find a single email client that can handle this incredibly simple task. Sure, you can export a single email. But don't bother selecting multiple files, because suddenly you can only save them as .eml.

What. The. Hell.

Chosen solution

Personally I have been using email since the early 1990s and am yet to find a real use for email stored in HTML format. The standard format for email is EML and almost all mail programs support it as you identify.

Lucky for you there are apparently some folk that find HTML useful for something, so there is an add-on that offers that functionality.

Doing email retail research is the reason here. Being able to export hundreds of emails as HTML allows me to easily use a snapshot application to take a full-height screenshot of each email and save them as JPGs.

This does the trick! Thanks!
