No, that just gives you option to open it with, but no permanent
association.
What I'm really tring to do is open a pdf file using the sylpheed email
reader which is built on Gtk2. When you click on an attachment you get
options to "open" or "open with application." When I click on "open"
nothing happens. I'm assuming this is an association problem somehwere
in gnome.
