It should but typing it in Thunderbird isn't showing it as plain text. Use "systemctl status vmware" to determine if the vmware services are all running. If it's my experience then I bet not. When I run sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all I get the error message "Failed to get gcc information." I had to do this (as root): cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source tar xf vmmon.tar cd vmmon-only make cd .. tar xf vmnet.tar cd vmnet-only make cd ../ mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc cp vmmon.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc cp vmnet.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc depmod -a systemctl vmware restart vmware (as in VMware-Workstation) still wouldn't start. Using strace I found that libexpat.so.0 wasn't being found so I then ran: ln -s /usr/lib64/libexpat.so.1.6.2 /usr/lib64/libexpat.so.0 vmware would then run and my Windows 10 VM appears to be working fine (so far ;-). i googled around for the first part about the need to manually rebuild vmmon and vmnet. *Mark C.
