I'm using my SM 2.39b1 on Win7 att, but I think the problem also exists on my Linux SM as well.

The Australian Government has recently set up a single web site (my.gov.au) for a taxpayer/citizen/whatever to use to communicate with all the various Government Departments and for them to be able to e-mail me letters rather than actually sending them via Australia Post. The Help screen list about 50-60 FAQ with answers and, of course, I cannot see my problem there.

A lot of these documents have attachments, supposedly in pdf format, but I've yet to be able to read a single one of these attachments. I thought I had Adobe Reader as one of the SM extensions, but I don't and I've looked through 200 of the 800 Extensions at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/seamonkey/extensions/ but cannot find the Adobe Acrobat/Reader extension listed.

However, when I'm in my profile on the my.gov.au site and select one of the gov mail and click on one of the attachments, I get.....

1. A Blank Browser tab with https://my.gov.au/attachment/viewAttachment?id=K206326391&commid=78533324 in address bar

2. The Download Manager opens showing it is downloading, e.g., "d6zZmvam" (no 3 letter (e.g. *.pdf) subsection), which is file type data:application/x-moz-playpreview;,application/pdf and the Download Manager downloads 15bytes of 15bytes, and,

3. Eventually Adobe Reader XI (version 11.0.2) opens (outside SM) and tells me "Adobe Reader could not open 'd6zZmvam' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." Note the file name, d6zZmvam, has no subsection.

Is there something I can do (apart from bitching to the Government!! Somehow!!) so that I will be able to communicate with assorted Gov departments??
