All the associations are there and it works in Mozilla. In T-bird I have to do a manual selection - cannot get it to do it automatically. There does seem to be a lot of issues with Adobe and T-bird when you trawl the forums T

In the online help it suggests the is an advanced tab where you can also choose a Helper Application to associated with a particular file type when saving or opening an attached file. Jim Viewing and Opening Attachments If you receive a mail attachment that consists of a file type that Mozilla can display (such as graphic files and HTML files), you see the attachment displayed /inline/ (in the body of the message). For other file types, Mail & Newsgroups lets you open the attachment using another application, or you can save the attachment on your hard disk. To open the attachment, make sure you have a program on your computer that can open files of the same type as the attachment's file format. For example, if you want to open a .DOC file, make sure you have a program on your computer that can open .DOC files. To open an attachment: 1. Double-click the attachment you want (if there is more than one). 2. In the Downloading dialog box, choose what you want Mozilla to do with the attachment: * If Mozilla finds an application on your hard disk that can open the attachment, you can open the attachment using that application. Click "Choose" to use a different application to open the attachment. * If Mozilla can't find an application on your hard disk that can open the attachment, you can save the attachment. You won't be able to open the attachment, but at least you can save it on your hard disk until you can install an application that can open it. * Click "Advanced" to add a new file type to the list of helper applications. Mozilla uses helper applications to determine how different file types are opened by other applications from within Mozilla. For more information, see Managing Different File Types <chrome://help/locale/nav_help.html#nav_helperapps>. 3. Click OK. Thinus van Rensburg wrote: >Am using T-bird - Mozilla was a typo.
