I want to retrieve files "eml": I have to edit the file signature?

Best regards
Carlo

Extend your volume snapshot:
-Particularly thorough file system data structure search
-File Header signature search
-Verify file types
-Extract email messages

Apply a type filter for category E-mail. Recursive view.

There is no need to edit the 'file type signatures" file, an entry for .eml is already included.

Another strategy - especially for deleted emails - is a simultaneous search for "MIME-Version: 1.0" together with a GREP search pattern for email addresses.

Thanks for your answer, but I am not sure I understand what I do. I use WinHex - Specialist license.
It is wrong to use the 'File recovery by type' ?

No, not wrong. If you can reliably identify the .eml files you are looking for with a certain signature, then you can use that signature in File Recovery by Type.
