Usage

Opening an email

• Double-click an .eml, .msg, or .oft file (after inlook register on Windows).
• From a terminal: inlook path/to/message.eml
• No argument: inlook opens a file picker.

The window shows the sender, recipients, subject, date, the message body, and a list of attachments.

Attachments

The attachment list is clickable:

• Files — click to save (always via a Save As dialog; InLook never auto-runs an attachment).
• Attached emails — click to open the nested message in a new InLook window.

Embedded (cid:) images in HTML mail are shown inline, rendered from the message itself — never fetched from the network.

Updates

InLook is offline by default. On Windows, the first run asks once whether to check for updates; see Security & privacy for exactly what that does. To update manually any time: winget upgrade StruisICT.InLook, or download the newest release.
