Hi!

Catalina recently broke EML files preview. Mail has a quick look
extension—MailQuickLookExtension.appex-, which is located in
/System/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/PlugIns/, but it no longer works. I
guess it was never Apple's intention to handle EML (as is not documented in
their API), but a side effect of their former QuickLook Mail.qlgenerator.

Does anyone know an alternative? I have only found a very old plugin:
MuttLight. That due to Catalina's architecture changes, doesn't work
anymore.

I expect someone (Microsoft, Freron, C-Command, Devonthink, etc.) to
develop a plugin in the near future. But in the mean time, the lack of a
working EML Quicklook Plugin, renders Foxtrot Pro almost useless for my
Horcrux's email backup (IMAP -> EML).

As a temporary alternative, I am using Apple Mail to cope with the
situation. Apple's plugin works "more less" with Foxtrot Pro. But it a
waste of space to have three times the same emails accounts: one in
Airmail, one in Horcrux and one in Apple Mail.

Thank you very much in advanced,
Regards.

P.S.: Spotlight works correctly with Foxtrot if you install Mailmate or
EagleFiler.
