I am happy to use the Lookout (fix version) 1.2.19 on Thunderbird 52.1.1 (32-bit) on linux. Much better than nothing but the plugin has some flaws.

I regularly receive mail created using Microsoft software (outlook / ms exchange). Thunderbird itself is quite useless on such mails.

This plugin shows the original mail text as well as a set of attachments. In case the actual mail also contains attachments these are among the attachments shown.

I have a few observations/work arounds on the plug-in:
- When you do 'Save All' from Thunderbird you get 2 popup windows (one should be enough) that allows to select the destination folder to save the attachments. The second window in the lower right corner by default shows 'dat file' but allows you to chose 'all files'. You have to select the not-default 'all files' or only the dat file is saved. Since 'Save all' was initially requested this is superfluous. The default 'dat file' is also inconsistent with the originally chosen 'save all'
- Thunderbird allows to save one of the individual attachment. I have not been able to get this operational.
