Lightning causes email with events to not display content

Post by anthias217 »

I receive email with calendar events included and Thunderbird only displays the event - not the content of the message, when Lightning is enabled. I tried disabling all extensions one at a time until Lightning was the only one left and then re-enabled all extensions and disabled Lighting only. The problem has been isolated to Lightning. The senders are using Outlook and MacOutlook. If Lightning is disabled I can see the contents of the message. If it is enabled I can't see the message but can see the event invitation. This has been happening for several versions, but I hadn't been able to isolate the problem consistently until now so it isn't a new bug in the last version.

Thunderbird version: 52.0.1 (32-bit)
Lightning version: 5.4.0.1

Have you tried with a release version of Lightning rather than the beta version you are currently using? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunde ... lightning/

Thunderbird is up to 52.0.1... I had forgotten about using a beta, but 45 (last compatible version) is a long ways back. I'll see if I can get an old version set up to test with but that has its own set of incompatibilities.

I was referring to a release version of the extension, not to Thunderbird.

Yes, I understand that, and from the link you posted the latest non-beta it says works with Thunderbird 45.8.0-45.*. Ignoring the link and downloading it for a file install of the add-on produces the same result from within TB. The latest Lightning release version available as a separate add-on is not compatible with the latest release of TB. I downloaded a fresh copy to double check the version. Also the version list here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... r_Versions

Is there something that I am not understanding about your question? Happy to try something else if I am missing it.
