Latest version runs fine with thunderbird 115.4.1. I installed it and afterwards the winmail.dat was shown with the correct layout and attachements.

issues with the new TB 115.3.3 (64 bits). Some emails do not show the file enclosed. I remove the addons and now the file enclosed is showing.

I am unable to reproduce any issues. Please try toggling the "Remove Winmail.dat" option in the Lookout options dialogue. As to not decoding the Winmail.dat please open an issue on the project Github page and we'll try hunt down the issue.

My sister uses Microsoft Outlook for her email; I use Thunderbird. Whenever she would send me an email with an attachment, it came to me as "winmail.dat", a useless item that I couldn't read. She tried fixing it on her end, but to no avail.

I found out about Lookout by reading a Mozilla help article, so I installed Lookout Fix Version 5.4 directly into Thunderbird as an add-on. (I am currently running Linux Mint 20.1, Xfce 64-bit, with Thunderbird version 102.15.1 64-bit.) This instantly solved the problem! No configuration was necessary! I was immediately able to read an email attachment that she sent to me.

Very useful. I hope it will be upgraded soon for TB115.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.4).

V6.0 will support TB115. Please note there have been some temporary regressions due to the update process

Thanks a million for providing such most convenient solution to the Winmail.dat problem!!
Immediately after installation of the extension the original attachments became visible, like it always used to be.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.3).

I cannot manage to understand what this add-on is meant for... Think more about non-geek users... Explain more please.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (5.3).

This add-on reads the winmail.dat attachment file that Microsoft email servers might send if they have been miss-configured. The winmail.dat is a proprietary Microsoft email format.

Edit: I have updated the description and hope it is clearer now.
