This software can be used to convert eml files (emails as plain text in MIME format) to pdf files. It can be used as a library, command line tool or desktop application with its GUI.
The conversion is done by parsing (and cleaning) the mime/structure, converting it to html and then using wkhtmltopdf to convert the generated html to a pdf file.
It also handles inline images, corrupt mime headers and can use a proxy.
You can download the lates binaries here.
There you can find a Windows setup.exe and a jar.
If you want to use the jar (e.g. for a non Windows OS) you need the wkhtmltopdf binary in the PATH.
