Public bug reported:

In Thunderbird on Ubuntu Gnome, I set Evince as default program to open
pdf files from Thunderbird.

In received messages, and those saved on "Sent" folder, it works
perfectly.

But in the "Compose" window: if I add a pdf file to the message, and
double-click on it to open and verify it, Thunderbird always uses
Firefox to show it.

In case Firefox is not installed (has been removed), I have an error
message telling there is not associated application for pdf files and to
go to Preferences - where Evince is already and still defined as
default.

It happens since many months and bug is still present in Thunderbird 102
/ Ubuntu 22.10 beta.

It's not the same as bug 234349 as here, it's not an URL file but
directly a pdf joined in a mail.
