Want to know the use of the "config.m.eml" and "logger.m.eml" files.

When I checked the matlab file today, I found two files "config.m.eml" and "logger.m.eml". The modification date of these two files is strange, so I want to know what the purpose of these two files is.

Hi,

The '.m.eml' extensions on your MATLAB files (`config.m.eml` and `logger.m.eml`) are unusual and not standard for MATLAB, suggesting a few possibilities:

• They might be email files incorrectly saved in your MATLAB directory.
• Indicates possible encryption or encoding for protection or privacy.
• Part of a specific project/application with custom workflows.
• The files could have been renamed or corrupted by mistake or due to software issues.

You could try out the following things to investigate.

• Check if they contain readable code (MATLAB) or are encrypted/encoded.
• Consider the origin and intended use within your project or workflow.
• Look at metadata for clues about their creation or modification.
• Remove the `.eml` extension to see if MATLAB recognizes them (backup first).

Hope this helps.
