Log is different:
Code: Select all
16:00:31.404 >> Try InitializeWithStream
16:00:31.404 >> InitializeWithStream Failed
16:00:31.404 >> Try InitializeWithItem
16:00:31.420 >> iisi.init ret=0
16:00:31.420 >> SetWindow ret=0
16:00:31.436 >> doPreview ret=0
16:00:31.451 >> MayDrag: 1, 0, False, False, 1, 1, 1

Everything in the log looks okay: it should work.
At this point I officially give up.

This is 208, not 209
Even if I don't activate the preview. XY is doing something in the background. Because, when you
switch from the .mgs file to the .txt file you'll see the layout (larger body with a scrollbar) in the
preview pane for a split second. Just with the missing header + body text...

FYI, WE with msg files seems to do some jumping between prevhost.exe instances.
Previewing a msg in WE causes the parent svchost process to start two instances of prevhost.exe - first the 64-bit and then the 32-bit.
By contrast previewing a txt results in only the 64-bit prevhost.exe.

The next version will have yet another try.

210 (same behavior as before):
Code: Select all
20:14:36.100 >> Try InitializeWithItem
20:14:36.100 >> SHCreate
20:14:36.100 >> SHCreate ret=0
20:14:36.100 >> iisi.init ret=0
20:14:36.100 >> SetWindow ret=0
20:14:36.115 >> doPreview ret=0
20:14:36.131 >> MayDrag: 1, 0, False, False, 1, 1, 1
I'll delete the VM now

OK, I'll remove the the debug log. Will try again next year.

I thought to help by checking it on my side as well and discovered a strange effect which might shed some light on the cause for Don.
I saved an outlook .msg file from Outlook 2013 32bit on W10 64bit 1607.
The preview only showed "gibberish", then I removed the tick to preview .msg in the Text category (it was still ticked in the Office category), now when I show the preview pane for this .msg it says "File type excluded from preview" with a button "Preview now". When I click this button the proper preview is shown for maybe half a second until the preview pane switches back to showing the usual "gibberish".

Half a second, that's the best result we got so far. My goal is to make it one second in 2018.

So I take it my observation didn't give you a big "Aha" moment and we really might have to wait until 2018 for the extension to 1 second.
I was actually wondering why XY would assume .msg to be a Text format and therefore complain when I untick it in that category but doesn't try to preview it within the Office category where the tick is still present?

Weird indeed and does not happen here. Cannot explain.
