You should see at least LookOut: Entering scan_for_tnef()
in the log.
Do you have Control folder access enabled in Windows (Found under Ransomware protection). I've had issues with that in the past
FYI: I have updated to TB 6.3 64 bit just to be sure -- issue still persists.
LookOut: Entering scan_for_tnef()
When searching for "lookout" I get the following lines:
WebExtensions: Loading packed extension from C:\Users\steosch\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\1234567.default-release\extensions\lookout@s3_fix_version.xpi

fetchStylesheet resource://devtools/server/actors/stylesheets.js:246
Nothing to be found when using "scan_for_tnef" as search phrase -- that's all I'm afraid.
What options in the lookout preferences do you have enabled?
Options enabled (I use the German version): [ ] MAPI Eigenschaften speichern [ ] Kalenderdaten direkt öffnen [ ] Konverson der Karaktertabelle für Dateiname verbieten [ X ] Entfernen Sie winmail.dat [ X ] Strict Content-Typ-Übereinstimmung [ X ] Aktivieren Sie das Debuggen <-- temporarily active to provide further inputs
Have you tried disabling strict Content Type Matching option?
Yes (+ TB restart after unchecking the respective option) -- sadly, the issue still persists.
Please let me know if I can be of any further help. Cheers
Do you have Control folder access enabled in Windows (Found under Ransomware protection). I've had issues with that in the past
Seems to be related to Windows Defender -- I'm using Kaspersky. TB and all other plugins work without glitches, so I suppose the respective settings are OK.
I have the very same problem on TB 68.2.0 At the start of TB I receive the following messages:
WebExtensions: Loading packed extension from C:\Email\Profiles\extensions\lookout@s3_fix_version.xpi ext-legacy.js:157
WebExtensions: Loading add-on preferences from C:\Email\Profiles\extensions\lookout@s3_fix_version.xpi ext-legacy.js:190

LookOut: debug enabled
LookOut: Entering LookoutLoad()
LookOut: Entering startup()
LookOut: registering messageHeaderSink.onEndAllAttachments hook
When I open an email containing winmail.dat, there is absolutely no activity in the log. I have Windows Defender running, no other antivirus tool. The "Control folder access" is not enabled.
Do either of you have other extensions installed? I have 9 Machines on windows 10 and am currently unable to find a way to reproduce the issue
Hello dugite-code, I am on Windows 10 Pro 1909. My other extensions are
I have
installed, both are active.
PS: The top comment let under [1] seems to confirm the issue as well

Unfortunately untill I can figure out how to replicate this issue I can't fix it.
I have a couple of ideas to try
Any additional information we can provide? Some hidden logfiles in the profile or user folders?
Can you try the v2.0.01b1 release. It's a bit of a swing in the dark if I'm honest but might fix the issue
Sorry, but still no change. After startup of TB, I have these messages in my log:
No more activity when opening a mail containing winmail.dat
Sry for my late reply -- same on my side, issue still persists after installing v2.0.01b1 release...
This is also happening to me on tbird 68.2.2 but on Debian Linux. I'll try updating to tbird 68.3 tonight after users log off.
I updated to the newest version of thunderbird available in the Debian Jessie repo, and it still happens. I've had to put users on older versions of thunderbird to get the functionality back.
@erik2282 is any of the 68.x versions working or have you down graded back further
@dugite-code, @erik2282 and I work together and are trying to fix this issue. We have tried different versions of 68.x and still the same issue. I am fixing to throw you a curve ball here though. We have a test system with Debian 8 installed. Thunderbird is version 68.4 and the Lookout plugin is version 2.0.0. We have two different users set up. One of the users plugin works to see the contents of the winmail.dat and the other does not. I made sure the prefs.js file matches and it does. I am still inspecting what else is different between the users without much luck. Makes no sense because it's the same Thunderbird application they are using. The only difference is the user itself.
@dugite-code I can show you a debug from a working user vs a non working user. It looks like it's not able to write to the tmp directory due to a permission issue. Where is the tmp directory located?
Looks like you may have a slightly different issue to the original OP. I was afraid using the temporary files to get around the drag and drop issue might come back to haunt me.
The simplest solution would be to roll back the drag and drop changes. Unfortunately much has changed since then and can't be done auto-magically
I've published a release that removes the Temporary file creation reverting back to the old method -> v2.0.01b2
If you all could please test this. While I think @justmelly and (possibly) @erik2282 have a slightly different issue to @steosch they may share a root cause.
Please note: This breaks the ability to drag and drop files
I just installed the new v2.0.01b2 The result is just the same like in my above post from Dec 17. I am still on TB 68.2.0 Seems I have a different problem than erik and justmelly with those verbose outputs in both working and non working cases. My output is still no more than the same 4 lines.
The new version does in fact open the winmail.dat. I will test on another system with another profile.
Update: worked on different system as well.
Doesn't work on my end I'm afraid (TB 68.5 64bit). Disabling "Content Type Matching" also did not help.

Do not know if this helps. If I view the message in the preview pane or open the message in a new tab winmail.dat is decoded and attachments are shown, but if I open the message in a new window Lookout fails to decode the winmail.dat file.
@jtdawson3 good catch, though I think this might be different to this issue. I've made a new issue here: https://github.com/TB-throwback/LookOut-fix-version/issues/57
Very good point -- thanx! This is actually how I have set it up over here. New messages are opened always in a new window, as I'm using the 'Folder Pane' Layout and mails are opened in a new window after a double-click.
Hope this helps, cheers, Stefan
Excellent, hopefully I'll be able to squash this bug now
Thank you jtdawson3, I confirm winmail.dat gets decoded when opening mails in a new tab instead of a new window.
I can confirm, that the attachment is correctly decoded when opening the message in a tab. The same message opened in a window doesn't get decoded.
We have the use case to open .eml
files from external source, so that display in own window is default. If you know a way to get them in a tab, let us know.
We noticed that in TB 115.4.0 there is no attachment shown while in TB 115.4.1 the winmail.dat
is shown. Perhaps this helps to track this issue further. I'm using TB with Lookout 6.1 on Debian 12.
@buchholz-lt This issue is unlikely relevant to any issue you face due to a recent major amount or re-working done. Please open a separate issue.
Expected Behavior
Mails received from MS Outlook should be decoded to allow accessing attachments
Current Behavior
Attachments are not decoded; mail attachment just shows winmail.dat only. Attachments can be accessed though by saving the respective e-mail and using Outlook.
What is the current behavior?
Installing the plugin seems to have not effect; I also tried to remove the plugin, close TB's plugin panel and restart TB. Reinstalling the plugin unfortunately did not mitigate the issue.
Steps to Reproduce
Install plugin and open an Outlook message --> winmail.dat shows up. Attachments are not decoded. Message window w/ plugin installed is identical to TB w/o plugin.
Failure Information (for bugs)
Activated debugging and filtered for entries with "lookout"; here are the results: LookOut: debug enabled LookOut: Entering LookoutLoad() LookOut: Entering startup() LookOut: registering messageHeaderSink.onEndAllAttachments hook stylesheets actor: fetch failed for chrome://lookout/skin/overlay.css, using system principal instead. stylesheets.js:246:13 fetchStylesheet resource://devtools/server/actors/stylesheets.js:246
Unfortunately that seems to be all that I can provide for debugging purposes.
Cheers and keep up the good work, Stefan
