I installed the ytnef package through apt and it appears to have installed correctly. I tried to use the software by saving the winmail.dat file I received in Thunderbird locally and running the following command:

ytnef -f . winmail.dat
No file was generated from the command. I have looked at the forum posts that I could find regarding opening winmail.dat files in Ubuntu and as far as I can tell, I have everything installed that I think I need. Can anyone let me know if I am missing a package or utilizing the command incorrectly?

Thanks

I just installed the Lookout add-in in Thunderbird and that fixes my problem.
