.EML files are simply raw RFC 5322 message format files, and can be examined with any text editor including TextEdit. And yes, Mail will, in fact, open and display them.
Your unknown files probably have no extension. You are seeing them described as “UNIX Executable Files” because that’s the default disposition of such files. VO-Shift-M and try to open with TextEdit and take a look at them. If they include headers (From, To, Received, Return-Path, whatever) then these are RFC 5322 messages; rename them to include .EML. If they are merely plain text, rename them to something ending in .TXT so TextEdit works with them in future. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
