Usually a lot of organizational or even intellectual information “comes in” with emails.
That’s why I want to store emails in my notes. It’s similar to PDF files.
Proposed solution
Add the email file format to Obsidian, and add a respective viewer.
That way one can add emails simply by drag-and-drop from the email client, just as PDF files.
Good idea, it would be a very nice feature.
When you drag and drop E-mails into Obsidian, a clickable “msg” block appears so you can get the original E-mail but you cannot search in the context. When you collect data most of it comes in E-mails as text or attachment. Obsidian would be suitable to treat these processes.

Just to update I found GitHub - ozntel/obsidian-msg-handler which together with Ozan’s Image in Editor plugin allows you to view and search msg and eml files in your vault. MAKE.md functionality works on these files too.
hello, I was just wondering @aikruger how the solution was working for you. I noticed on the GitHub that there were a few outstanding issues on the plug-in and that it hasn’t been updated since March 2023. Have you found this to be a viable option?
