When trying to open attachments mozilla-thunderbird closes. The

In Tools > Options > Attachments
the area
File Types
Automatically perform the associated action with each of the following
file types
is empty and there is no way to add an action
in mozilla-firefox it defaults to the kde file open dialog
I am using debian unstable + kde 3.2.2
can anyone point me in the right direction
I'm using debian unstable + parts of gnome 2.4
I believe the Tools > Options > Attachments "dialog" you describe is
only functional for changing actions. Set the desired action with the
"open" dialog.
To open attachments, right click on the attachment filename in the
message window;
or the pull-down menu: file -> attachments -> [file name] -> open / save as
I like: Right click -> open/ save as/ save all ->
open -> "You have chosen to open [filename] from: [mailbox filename]
which is a: [pdf, Microsoft Word, etc] document"
"What should Thunderbird do with this file?"
-> open with (pull down showing default, or choose other)
-> save to disk
-> Check box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
This is where I set defaults.
As for the application closing when you attempt this, there is a mozilla
bug that crashes apps when a corrupted bitmap image is opened. Have
you looked at the bug reports?
