Don't know - I confess that when I use my instructions, I find no
applications/extensions listed in that box - but I assumed that it was
because I'm not a huge Thunderbird user. Possibly Thunderbird now gets
it's application preferences from elsewhere.

Have you tried (if you are a Gnome user) right-clicking on a WMV file
and checking what Gnome will open it with - or do the KDE equivalent.
It's possible that Thunderbird is using the native dialogs to work out
what to do with files. I just checked an OpenOffice file (I'm not big
on people emailing me videos) and what pops up looks very much like a
Gnome dialog to me...
