How can I tell Icedove which application it should use to open *.pdf

In GNOME, it uses the default for the DE/WM. In my case, that's an Evince
task. What's your DE/WM?
This is my parents' computer.
GNOME seems to be configured correctly, because when PDF files are on the
desktop, when I click them, they are opened in evince. This is correct.
However, when they to open pdf file attached to an email (theirs MTA is
Icedove), I am only asked to determine the directory where they are supposed to
be saved, instead of opening them in evince.
I would like to reconfigure Icedove so that PDF files are opened by evince. I
just failed to figure out how to do that. Maybe they gave wrong answers in some
dialog boxes, when they appeared; I do not know.
That's weird. I get a prompt asking me what to do with a PDF file (open
with default app or save it) and I'm also running GNOME :-?
I would first start by reading Thunderbird's KB article on this issue,
maybe you can find something that helps you with your problem:
Actions for attachment file types

Greetings,
Hi,
When I open my Thunderbird Edit/Preferences/Attachements I get a list of
filetypes and, on the right-hand side of .pdf, I get a selection box
that allows me to select Always Ask, Save File, Use Image Viewer, Use
Gnome-open, Use Acroread, ...
If I choose "Use Gnome-Open", it uses the Gnome default application to
open the .pdf attachment, Acroread in my case.
Just my two-cents, I hope it helps.
Rgds,
jss
