Open Ubuntu Software Center, search for vlc
and install it.
Then go Applications --> Sound and Video --> VLC. On VLC press Media --> Open folder and select the folder that contains the VOB files.
I found that these instructions to be very helpful
For the love of command line tools, instead of the visual/heavy Thunderbird/KMail or Evolution.
sudo apt-get install mpack
Then to extract the eml contents
munpack 1.eml
In my case I need to use -t to get past the following error messages
munpack ./ServerPerformance.eml
tempdesc.txt: File exists
image001.jpg.2 (image/jpeg)
I then get every thing out like this.
munpack -t ./ServerPerformance.eml
part1 (text/plain)
part2 (text/html)
image001.jpg.3 (image/jpeg)

These are StuffIt files. It appears to be a proprietary format and unpopular enough that
none of the open source archivers have ever bothered to reverse-engineer itonly one application (see Sharath's answer) has ever battled it.The Unarchiver does only claim partial support. If the archive uses the more advanced features like encryption or JPEG compression, by all means give it a shot, but you'll likely need to fall back to one of these options, none of them great:
Use a real copy of Windows or OSX along with StuffIt Expander. This could be in a Virtual Machine.
Battle Wine to the death. Stuffit Expander uses the .NET framework v4 which seems to mean "it's just not going to work quite yet". AppDb reviews seem to corroborate that.
Find the person sending you such an obscure format and keep stroking their hair until they agree to send you a standard format like, you know, a Zip.
