Hmm, yeah, something scripty seems to be called for (unless the matter can be traced to something in PM's code base itself, in which case maybe CTM could provide a solution (?)
Maybe I'll have a look at Automator (which I've never really tried out properly yet) and see if it can help. The ideal, at least for dealing with the legacy explorer-assigned files that I have, would probably be something that could search by an 'Opens with...' parameter (rather than a file suffix) so I could just locate any and all files on my machine that are set to open with Explorer and reassign them to Safari in one go. Wouldn't that be charming and sweet? Addendum: I just did a search via Creator parameter, giving MSIE as the search string and located what are hopefully all the Explorer assigned files in my home folder. Then I could Cmd-Alt-i to change all of their 'Opens With' settings in one go. Thing is, although they now open in Safari, the creator is still MSIE, so they'll still show up in subsequent searches, which is a bit annoying. Anyway, that sort of works around the legacy stuff, but I'd still like to know why PM is assigning HTML attachments of it's own creation (in the sense of creating them out of the content of the incoming email) to Internet Explorer. Jerome, do you have anything to add that might shed some light on this enigmatic issue?
