Public bug reported:

Thunderbird refuses to open attachments from mails opened for editing.

Normally you can open attachments with a double click, either directly
with the respecting application or thunderbird will show a window asking
to set the application required to open the file.

But for mails which are just being edited, the result of a double click on the 
attachment is different:
- though you can still open pictures
- double click on doc(x) files just shows a dialog about opening a file named 
"nsmail.bin" (name does not depend on the attachment's original file name)
- double click on pdf files are being ignored (at least there is no reaction)

** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
