Simple email viewer

Hello,

In my application, I'm having a directory with a bunch of .eml files.

It was my intention to read out with PHP this directory, make a list
of it and show them as .eml links in the browser where the user could
click on, which then opens into the default email client on the
computer.

It appears to be problematic to open .eml files from web into email
client.

Does such a thing exists as a simple "email viewer" in PHP ?
- show the text or HTML content of the .eml file
- show basic header info together with it (from, subject, date)
- show attachments as downloadable files
(basically just like most email clients show one message)

Thanks,

Yes, you can use the MIME message parser class to parse the message and
analyze its structure so you can easily display message contents to your
users:
