[Bug 593459] Re: Some attchments (.pdf, .xlsx) don't have open dialog just save dialog
I made further tests with the following result: I took such a PDF I got (offering only the save option) and sent it as new mail with attachment to myself using Thunderbird. Result: Open option available! - So it does not depend on the PDF itself. I assume that it depends on the mailer how it packs the mime message. Did further investigation and found the following difference: Attachment header in mime Test-Message that is working: Content-Type: application/pdf; name=#31161-v1-Programmierung_RepCheck.pdf Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=#31161-v1-Programmierung_RepCheck.pdf Attachment header in Original received mail: Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=#31161-v1-Programmierung_RepCheck.pdf Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Description: #31161-v1-Programmierung_RepCheck.pdf Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=#31161-v1-Programmierung_RepCheck.pdf It looks like a difference in specified Content-Type. The original mail I got, was produced with MS Outlook 2007.

Downloaded gnome-open addon manually (as it is not found when searching for addons from within Thunderbird) and that solves the issue also for me (just note that because in earlier post (comment #4) of spadger it was not clear for me which of the two mentioned addons solved the problem. -- Some attchments (.pdf, .xlsx) don't have open dialog just save dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just for the case it helps: Tested on current icedove under Fluxbox - had not the issue. -- Some attchments (.pdf, .xlsx) don't have open dialog just save dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 593459] Re: Some attchments (.pdf, .xlsx) don't have open dialog just save dialog
I find that the problem affects not only Thunderbird, it also affects Firefox. Example: when I aim to open the .pptx file at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/384553/comments/2 Firefox can save but not open the file. Key point: there is no invitation to associate the file type with OpenOffice.org. Should this be reported as a separate bug, affecting Firefox? Or should this bug be amended? -- Some attchments (.pdf, .xlsx) don't have open dialog just save dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

According to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1442764 this is a problem of thunderbird itselves, and the following package will provide a workaround: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/12523.

According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Actions_for_attachment_file_types#Unexpected_handling_of_certain_attachments the problem might arise from a corruption of the mimetypes.rdf file in the thunderbird profile. In my case simply deleting this file and hoping that thunderbird will restore it didn't work, though. -- Some attchments (.pdf, .xlsx) don't have open dialog just save dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks, the addon works great. It's true this is not a real fix but at least I don't have to mess around saving before viewing documents.
