Implement TNEF (Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format) support in Mailspring.
Partially implemented in Thunderbird via Lookout addon(s)

Ahh this is an interesting one—it looks like we can essentially “unpack” the .dat file and it gives us the real file within it? If we can find a tool on that page that has an open / LGPL license we could probably bundle it or it’s code with Mailspring.

Apparently this would allow us to work with winmail.dat.
There are a couple of NodeJS projects for this:
So apparently there open-source tools, Mailspring not supporting TNEF is one of the reasons why I cannot migrate to it, because many people I receive emails from use Outlook, which sends attachment in TNEF format from time to time
This would make the most sense to me as a plugin, which could later be added to the core plugins.

Any news/updates here ?
That thing really drives me crazy … Like, I see an invitation for a call/whatever, but I cannot see the time/date of the event. Just winmail.dat file.
Sometimes even tnef app cannot do anything with those files and I need to go to the web UI to see the actual event time.
