The other thing I found strange is, I have Thunderbird Daily configured
to prompt for download locations, and when I click on the pdf
attachment
in the mail I get prompted to open it in the default app or save it. In
the default app drop down in that dialogue, when the default app was
Ocular, if I select "Other" to select a different app, Acrobat does not
appear in the list of selectable apps even though it is specified the
app list in the pdf application association.
Is this for some, or all, PDFs?
A common problem with dealing with attachments is when they're sent
using the wrong mime-type. Files are supposed to be sent with a
description of what type of file they are, and the recipient is
supposed to act upon that information. It's not supposed to guess from
the filename, nor snoop into the file to work it out.
PDFs ought to be sent as: application/pdf
However some senders may be set up badly, and just use the generic
"application/binary-octet" that means some unknown binary file.
It could be that situation, I hadn't checked that. I'll see if I can
figure out what it is using.
I've checked two mails with attachments, one mail has the pdf attachment
as content type application/binary-octet and the other has the content
type of application/pdf on the attachment and the issue occurs with both
of them.
