What is an Email Header / EML file?

Every email that's sent has 2 parts, the body (what you see when you read the message), and the header. The header has information like the server the email came from, who sent it, what time it was sent, who the email was intended for. This information is important when you get a suspicious email or spam email that slips through the SPAM filter, as it can help find where exactly the email originated from.
