hi,
This problem started since I upgraded to Mac OS Catalina (clean install).
This also happened to another machines I have upgraded (install on top of
old version).
I have a problem with mail messages showing up as plain text in the preview
window and in the popovers, however they do show correctly formatted in the
"Quick Look" screens.
Also my email emlx icons are "white", but that seems to be a system wide
problem.
I do not have this problem with the other files types: pdf, word etc, they
all show correctly formatted.
I have tried to solve it using a local index, but that does not work
either. It fails to show emlx files correctly.
Does anybody have an answer?
thanks
Maarten

Is there a solution for this? Searching and viewing email files is
problematic.

In macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple has changed how some Quick Look previews are implemented; it was previously possible to hijack the Quick Look previews in order to display them in a custom view and to highlight and navigate through found occurrences, but this is unfortunately no longer the case for Mail messages.
You can either view the plain text version of the document (which supports highlighting and navigation), or click the Quick Look toolbar icon to view the rich Quick Look preview in the Quick Look window (with no highlighting or navigation).
We are investigating how to show the rich Quick Look preview directly in FoxTrot's preview pane, but this still won't allow highlighting or navigation.
