Ever since updating to Sea Monkey 2.39 I have been having a problem whenever I
attach a .pdf file to an e-mail on a computer running Windows 7 Pro. It always
comes up as an html file rather than a normal .pdf text. I have tried setting
the browser helper applications to my Adobe Reader program or to Corel PDF
Fusion, but it doesn't work.Either of these options do work perfectly with
Thunderbird on this same computer or with Sea Monkey under either XP or Windows
10, and both also worked with earlier versions of Sea Monkey. If I send the
attachment file, the receiver can read the attachment normally. I just can't
read it when I click on the attachment when I first create it.
I just tried setting the helper application to ask how to open it, and it now
works with either Adobe Reader or PDF Fusion. Actually, I don't think the weird
file was HTML. When I checked its properties, it said something like being a
Quirk file. What is that anyway? What it lloked like was an endless page of
text.
Where did you see an endless pages of text ? When you open the "message
source" ? If it is that, it's normal.
When the mail with the pdf attached is sent and is present in the "Sent"
folder of the mail-account that sent it.....
When you look at this mail, normally you can only see the mail text
without an endless page of text. and...
... When you double-click on the link present in the attachment window
of this mail (upper right corner) a pop-up window is presented to you
where you can choice between opening the file with the pdf-reader you
want OR between "Save" the file ... Isn't it ?
