Downloading suspicious emails for further inspection

Several email phishing type tickets have an additional action enabling you to download the suspicious email (in .eml format). This allows you to directly examine potentially malicious emails before taking any further action. This download action applies to both open and closed tickets.

A .eml file is an email message saved by an email application, such as Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail. It contains the content of the message, along with the subject, sender, recipient(s), and date of the message. .eml files may also store one or more email attachments, which are files sent with the message.

You can open .eml files with:

• Email programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, and Mozilla Thunderbird.
• Web browsers, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer.
• Plain text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad, and Apple TextEdit.
• Word processors such as Microsoft Word.
