How to load .eml files as System.Net.Mail.MailMessage in UIPpath

Question

I have a bunch of .eml files inside a folder and I would like to know how can I load them inside UIPath in order to save their attachments.

One way I saw that this could be done is to add those mails inside a collection variable then use the save attachment function on that collection however I do not know how to load an .eml file inside a variable that is of type System.Net.Mail.MailMessage

Use UiPath's Desktop Automation and with the added advantage of outlook, you can just double-click any eml file in order to open it. Then make your robot click on save all attachments, and select the folder location.
