You'll need to use something like javax mail (or some of the jars that
have been built on top of it for higher-level access) to open the EML
files and extract the attachments, then operate on the extracted
attachments as you would any file.
There are alternative, paid, libraries to parse and extract attachments
from EML files as well.
EML attachments will have a mimetype associated with their metadata.

Hi,
Currently, I am able to extract scanned PDF images and index them to Solr
using Tesseract OCR, although the speed is very slow.
However, for EML files with PDF attachments that consist of scanned images,
the Tesseract OCR is not able to extract the text from those PDF
attachments.
Can we use the same method for EML files? Or what are the suggestions that
we can do to extract those attachments?
I'm using Solr 6.5.0
Regards,
Edwin
