I want to open pdf attachments with okular, but when click to open the attachment, my only option is to open with GIMP. the dialog box does not allow me to choose another application besides GIMP, which is the default. How do I configure thunderbird so that I can choose the application to open, or else set pdf files to open with okular?

On my dialog screen for attachments, the table is blank. How do I a file type to the content type column on the attachments? There is no way to make a new entry. I assume that there is some way, but it isn't showing up on my screen.
This is actually a common problem, as I search the internet and see that many others have had the same problem, only having gimp available to open pdf files. However, there are no solutions posted that I can find.

Ok, I found the other replies - my email filter had moved several of the replies to another folder - my mistake. I will try the links and suggestions when I get back to the office in the morning.
Basil, thanks for posting those links! I am hoping to have all my attachment configurations fixed first thing in the morning!
No problemo but I think that Ed's suggestions also need attention because I think that there is where it starts from.
I need to mention here that I've since gone to a "clean" system (one that I'd not modified) as opposed to my work system that was tailored a while ago. There I discovered what I would see as an "abnormality". The "File Associations" does have Okular at the top and Okular is installed as is GIMP. I would have thought this would start Okular but it starts GIMP. To change the behavior I had to do it in Thunderbird itself by expanding the attachment (>) as I mentioned before and picking "Other" and then navigating to /usr/bin/okular and selecting "Do this automatically..." I must have done this a long time ago and just forgot about it.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
