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... -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
