I am trying to open old email files that were sent using the old Apple Mail. They have been stored as .emix files and they show content when selected in the Finder but none when the file is opened. I've tried using different extensions but nothing works. Any ideas?

I retrieved these files from a folder on a storage hard drive in a file named 'Mail folder from iMac 9-7-10' > POP-l**@pop.comcast.net > 'Sent Messages.mbox > Messages. When I select them in the finder they show content but then when I double click to open them there is no content. How do I import them back into Mail?

How do I import them back into Mail?
Whether they will or will not import I don't know. They should.
The Import Mailboxes… command is in the File Menu.
Choose Apple Mail as the type of files to import. You can likely just select the folder that holds them all.
I don't think it will decode any attachments you import (at least it didn't in the past). There are ways to decode Base64 if you need to do that manually.
Do you mean .emlx?
Try any text editor. Email is a purely text-based protocol.
Sorry, .emlx. Nothing I have tried puts it into useable text. The closest I can get is from TextEdit but it leaves it so messy it's impractical to use. Which text editor would you suggest?
Yes, you will see the encoding which you would have to work around. Attachments will be base64 encoded.
Have you tried importing them in Mail?
How do I open .emix files from 2008 on my newer Mac?
