[NTLUG:Discuss] Thunderbird Default File Association

[Michael Barnes]

Here's another one for you.  Another SuSE 9.2 machine using Thunderbird 
for E-Mail.  This is a fairly recent install of Thunderbird.  Any emails 
received with a .doc attachment, Thunderbird tries to open with Open 
Office 1.1. I have OO 2.0 installed on the machine.  If I save the file 
to disk and try to open it outside of Thunderbird, it opens in OO 2.0 
just fine.  But if I try to open it within Thunderbird, it always tries 
to pull OO 1.1.  I've gone through all the pref.js and related config 
stuff and I can find nothing.

Thanks for your ideas.

Michael

desktop and KDE a few months ago.)
