Thank you for the additional details! I've checked in with the team and on iOS we use native libraries to preview files. If those native libraries don't support a specific file type then preview for that file format won't be available. I know that this isn't the answer that you were hoping to hear and hopefully iOS will support more file types in the future.

The work flow that you have is quite interesting, if you'd like to save emails in 1Password going forward then I recommend exporting those emails as PDFs instead of EML files. And, while it does sound like a lot of manual work, converting the old EML files to PDF is the best option at the moment if you'd like to preview those emails on iOS.

Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
