Preview of Outlook email files (msg) has stoppet working

#1 Post by Halm » 17.04.2023, 13:54

Preview of Outlook email files (msg) doesn't - work (as it should) in FreeCommander anymore.
At least not on this PC...
First part of all email is displaying / substituted with:

1 [Dummy]
2
... and lots of with space

as this:

Have you tried this with some older files?

Do the same unreadable messages still show correctly in older versions of FC if you go back to using them?

Tried some of the older portable version, - with same result.
Tried to run FreeCommander XE as Admin, - then preview of msg-files works.
So it's probably some security settings on my PC that have changed, - but then preview still works in explorer somehow....

Found the source of the problem: custom preview handler in MS Power Toys.
The solution:
Turn off preview handler for "source code files" and then , somehow, MSG previews as normal.
