Convert P7Z to 7Z

Can you convert P7Z to 7Z?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert P7Z to 7Z?
No - not a direct conversion.

A .p7z is a compressed S/MIME e-mail, NOT a 7-Zip archive - 7-Zip and other archivers cannot open it, and there is nothing to convert. (The DB's 7-Zip association is the unrelated 'split 7z volume' meaning, which is rare.) Use a mail client to read the message instead.
