My MailMate used to expand winmail.dat attachments from Outlook

The only thing I can think of is that some preference or key binding
has been changed.
I can't find a setting to control for this in the preferences. Is
there a key binding that I can use reinstate the old behaviour?
I recall fixing a bug related to the `winmail.dat` handling.
Apparently it had been broken for quite some time. Try holding down
⌥ when clicking “Check Now” to get the latest test release. The
only problem is that what Bill describes in his reply doesn't really
ring a bell.
I can demo it. This is with r5122, but whatever I was running last night
had the same issue, as does tnef built by MacPorts:
silverclam:~ dad$
/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/tnef --unix-paths
--list Winmail.dat
silverclam:~ dad$ echo $?
0
silverclam:~ dad$
/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/tnef --unix-paths
--list --save-body Winmail.dat
message.rtf | message.rtf
silverclam:~ dad$ ls -l message.rtf
ls: message.rtf: No such file or directory
silverclam:~ dad$
/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/tnef --unix-paths
--save-body Winmail.dat
silverclam:~ dad$ ls -l message.rtf

I THINK the root of the problem in the tnef code is in the use of a
global bitfield used for the command line flags declared as a (signed)
int and checked with compiler macros. It's been too long since I've
worked with C regularly for me to spot the bug, but it's definitely
there. Running dtruss on the tnef run shows no sign of writing anything
without --save-body argument.
Of course the root of the problem is that the TNEF format is a
semi-secret abomination which isn't even reliably compatible between all
of the MS programs that write it, so breakage involving it is never
really a surprise...
This means there might be another problem.
Yes. An oddity I see is that in MM and the Finder all ".dat" files show
up with a VLC icon, because apparently anything can be a media file...
Note that you need to use “Message ▸ Reset...” on any emails
already fetched (in order to trigger a new attempt to auto-expand the
attachment).
No success. I do get your explanatory text as shown in the attached
screenshot.
