How to open .pdf file in Mozilla Thunderbird?

11-12-2009, 05:56 PM

Using Kubuntu 8.04.

I sometimes have to open a .pdf attachment in a Thunderbird email.

It's cumbersome to save the file first.
How can I directly open the .pdf attachment?

I suspect it's in about:config
but didn't find anything that might do it.

Does it just not open in your pdf reader when you double-click it?

You just double click it and it opens.
