Are you actually asking about how to have thunderbird launch an application different from parole?
I suppose that would work for the typical user but that's not the
solution I wanted. I prefer to control what the computer does, if I have
VLC installed I should be able to select it somehow and that has always
been the case! I would select Other > /usr/bin/vlc, check always do it
that way and forget the other stuff that may or may not work.
In thunderbird, have you gone to "Edit---Preferences" and then Attachments to see if there is a "content type" defined? If so, there should be an Action with a drop down where you can change it.
Edit > Preferences > Applications would seem a likely candidate for
accomplishing that but I can't find a way to add the file type MOV:
The message source contains:
--Apple-Mail-E11F90D8-F050-4959-B4F3-5C86AD57E5CF
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=us-ascii
--Apple-Mail-E11F90D8-F050-4959-B4F3-5C86AD57E5CF
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=IMG_7421.MOV
Content-Type: video/quicktime;
name=IMG_7421.MOV
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Google produces instructions that look as though they might work if
I could apply them, haven't had much success though.
But it should not be this complicated, normally it give the option
to select Other and that's it.
I can still view the .mov files by saving them so it's not do or
die, just an annoyance. I will check on another computer and see
what happens there. I'll have to rsync the mail files to test that ...
Thanks for the help,
Bob
