As a test, you could try changing the default application to something like gnome-open, or xdg-open (which are a file handler utilities). Your emailer would palm off the file to the handler, and *it* would open it with the default system application for the type of file it is. That may help you isolate whether it's a Thunderbird problem, or something else. That sort of thing can also help with malformed content, such as emails that don't say the attached file is a PDF file, but describe it as being some unknown type of binary file. The handler will inspect the file, for you. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
