Making the World a Little More Connected

I have sent a new version of LookOut to addons.mozilla.org (AMO). Of course I am still waiting for them to approve the last version I submitted. This new version fixes a metadata reading bug and added RTF decoding/decompression. It would be nice if the RTF could be viewed inline but at least it is accessible. TNEF encapsulated RTF and HTML body text (as opposed to an explicit attachment) will now show as attachments named body_part_#.rtf or body_part_#.html. Until the AMO folks get around to it you will find the LookOut 1.2 xpi in the project website.

Enjoy,
Aron

    This is - well, I assume it is - a great plugin for we who get fed junk by outlook users!

    Have you tested it with t’bird 2.x?

    Thanks.

    Never one to be prudent, I installed it anyhow. I’ll let you know if it murders anything.

    Aron does your fix for Thunderbird work for mac OSX tried to download but it tries to install into Firefox.
    Your Assistance appreciated.

    All Mozilla products use XPI for add-ons. For all Thunderbird add-ons you must right click on the link and choose “Save Link As…” in Firefox and then go to Tools -> Add-Ons -> Install in Thunderbird. Hope that helps.

    I could help testing in TB 3.0, if it’s an easy task to build one for 3.0.
