I can't find a place to change it, and besides .doc and .xls files (and I assume .ppt) automatically open just fine from the desktop. Just not from within Thunderbird.
In TB: Edit>Preferences>Attachments>View&Edit actions
or something like that, since I'm backtranslating the Dutch translations. :-)
The file associations that TB uses are not linked to those of KDE (or Gnome) which is what you see on your desktop.
Regards,
Thanks for the speedy reply, but that's not quite it. Following the trail you suggest, I get to the action for .doc files is currently: "Open them with the default application:" This worked before 2.3, so what I think I need to do is change the "default application" whatever that is and wherever it may be. I don't think it is the KDE default app since the files open automatically from the Desktop. -dslice -- Dennis E.
