Hi Brian, There's still something amiss here. As an experiment, (with Thunderbird shut down) I deleted my ~/.thunderbird/user-profile/mimeTypes.rdf file, and started Thunderbird. I went to a message with a WAV attachment, and in the dialog, I selected "Open with Totem (default)", and "Do this automatically..." After this, there is never a dialog upon opening that attachment, the Thunderbird default actions menu is blank, and there is also a nonempty mimeTypes.rdf file in place of the one I just deleted.
Now, suppose I want to change the "open with" application. No problem. I'll just save the attachment, and in Nautilus, go to "Properties" in the right-click menu, and change the setting in the "Open With" tab. In my case, I changed the default to "/opt/csw/bin/mplayer", and now, from Nautilus, the saved attachment opens with mplayer. However, double-clicking the attachment within Thunderbird still launches Totem. (Restarting Thunderbird doesn't help.) Other than deleting mimeTypes.rdf, I don't know how to change that association.
