This isn't email - I'm using the browser portion of SM.   From the
original post:

Go to http://www.cacetech.com/sharkfest.09/ and try downloading the
various files.  All work except for the '.pptx' ones which pop up a
dialog box asking me if I want to open them with OpenOffice or save
them to disk.  The problem is that the "always do this" option is
greyed out, so SM always pops up the same "what do you want to do with
this file?" dialog.

What I'd like is for SeaMonkey to never ask me again - just save
anything ending with ".pptx" to disk.

The "choose" function is new to me - how does one invoke it?  And is
it possible for my choice to be 'always save the file to disk'?

Thanks,
