Wait... what of these two situations applies: 1/ You open a PDF file that is embedded (attached) within a message and it opens automatically with xpdf. 2/ You open a URL link that points to a PDF, so the web browser launches and downloads the PDF file which is then opened with xpdf. :-) > I've looked on the web and the suggestions available given my search > string seem specific for SuSE and suggest that the configuration is done > via Konqueror.

Hard to say... ideally, Kmail (as any other MUA compliant with freedesktop standards) should respect the user's default settings regardless the environment from where it runs... but this is also very hard to get even for another application (e.g., Mozillas' Firefox/ Thunderbird).
