Just tried this myself while checking the spam folder on Hotmail
website. Viewing the message source just produced a page of meaningless
symbols. I guess if I was using the extensions rather than POP, I would
have found my Hotmail access through Thunderbird to be broken.

The getmessagesource issue seems rather unusual. Clearly it is a
problem for some users. I have just checked all 5 of my Hotmail
accounts and View Message Source is not a problem for any of them. If
it were a generic problem with this set of Hotmail changes we all
should be affected.
It is clearly not the intent of MS to remove the function - hopefully
they will quickly diagnose the problem for the accounts that are
experiencing the problem.

Not if you want to download the complete mail including all the header
information. A "screenscraper" could retrieve the text content but not
other parts of the mail such as attachments and (most important if you
want to check the authenticity of mails) the header information showing
where and when the mail was sent from and its route to you.

So is there any way to make the extension work without relying on M$
GetMessageSource.aspx fix? Is there any workaround?

I see! The extension uses (used?) the get message source function to
retrieve emails complete with all headers etc. If MS have broken this
function, then the extension cannot work.
