I'm using SM 2.0.5 on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04), and sometimes with a Word
attachment on a received email I get a little window offering me a
choice of saving it or opening it with an "Open with" option. But
sometimes the "Open with" option is missing and the only choice offered
is to save it.

For example I received email attachments today from two people in my
contacts list. One was called "Payroll summary - April 10.doc" and SM
gave me the choice to open or save, and the other was called "Membership
figures for July 2010" and the option to open it was missing and I was
offered only to save it.

I can't see a significant difference between these file names (both
contain spaces and a mix of letters & numerals) and I can't understand
why SM treats them differently.

If poss I would like the "Open with" choice every time. Any tips?


Ray, you are not on your own with this. I think about two weeks ago there was a thread here dealing with this situation, I think it might have been about opening pdf files, but don't quote me.

If you have a bit of a look back, you might find what you need.
