Description Frank Griffin 2011-09-29 12:49:34 CEST

Thunderbird is way out of sync with Firefox in terms of setting default applications for opening attachments MIME times.  

The latest one I noticed is that it tries to open *.docx (Word 2007+) files with the Archive Manager rather than LibreOffice, but I've noticed in the past that it can't open *.wmv files either, and opens *.doc files with KWrite even though LibreOffice is installed.

Please change the default apps to match the Firefox selections, which are far more sane.

I thought I had, but a search on "thunderbird" didn't show it, so I figured it must be from back in the cooker days...
