Sorry. Bad day. I use the Nitro PDF plugin on FF on Ubuntu. But when I do this, I don't have a problem. :: Create new message :: Add PDF :: Click on link :: Save As/Open box appears :: Select Open and it works fine. Admitedly I'm not using Adobe Reader. What about using the default Document Reader to try and read it? Although I'm not getting a new window (which you said you were getting).. Sounds to me like FF might not like your PDF application preference. Simon -- IMP mailing list Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: imp-unsubscr...@lists.horde.org
