It seems to depend on the OS you run SM under. I have 2.0.5 under Linux
Ubuntu 10.4 and the Preferences menu appears under Edit, but in the
Helper Applications area there are no options for adding to or editing
the list - the only buttons are "Help" or "Close".
I know different operating systems produce different problems, but it
would be great if we could all enjoy similar menu options. It seems
particularly ironic when Windows users get better options than Linux
users in an open source app!
You're drawing wrong conclusions from an incomplete picture. The
preferences have been there in SM 1.1 and are gone in SM 2.0. That's
all. No differences regarding platform there.
The way to add MIME-type-to-action correlations in SM 2.0 is simply to
select the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
checkbox in the download confirmation window.

According to the OP on 6-26-10:
SeaMonkey doesn't give me the option to automatically save certain
file types - the latest example being
http://www.cacetech.com/sharkfest.09/DT5_Varenni_WinPcapDosDonts.pptx
where I get
You have chosen to open
whatever.pptx
which is a: Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation
from http://whatever
What should SeaMonkey do with this file?
and the 'Do this automatically for files like this from now on.' line
is greyed out.
Is there some way for me to manually go in and force all .pptx files
to be saved instead of asking every time I download a .pptx file if I
want to open it with some application?
SeaMonkey 2.0.5 running on Windows Vista
Thanks,
Lee
