1Password for iOS doesn't display .eml files
When I sign up for a new site, often times they will send me an email with details that I'd like to save, so I'll drag that email out of my Mac's Mail program to the Desktop, and I get a file there w...
Hi Dave,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
I first started saving the emails that I received as .eml files on MacOS when saving those same files in PDF format was a little less convenient, and less featured (links didn't often work properly, the formatting was wonky, etc.). Since then, PDF has gotten quite a bit better, and most of the links now work as expected, and the formatting is mostly correct. So it was just muscle memory that had me saving .eml files. However, .eml files are quite a bit smaller than their corresponding PDF files, since they're only the original email's text in basically an HTML format.
So, yes, I could export those emails as PDF and drop those into 1Password. But the .eml format works very well for my needs in MacOS and saves me space in my 1Password vault (since I have so many of them), so I was just hoping that we could make things a little more cross platform and move that functionality over to iOS.
If you guys aren't able to do that, I'll have to start saving things exclusively in PDF, and then go back and convert those hundreds of .eml files into PDF.
