I know this is not what you want to see/hear... When I get a PDF attached email in Pluto I have absolutely no problem double clicking the attachment PDF and getting it opened in *my* default PDF reader... Foxit PDF reader. I get so many PDFs these days that will not open in RISC OS PDF readers... There are only so many times an app can piss me off before I give up and get the stuff transferred automatically via Uniserver to the PC side and Foxit. Dave -- Dave Triffid

The extra steps are too much for the technophobic Mrs N. She can view a Jpeg link without extra steps, so why must Netsurf require fifflefaffle for PDF?
