Never did this before for OOo. But it did for LibreOffice 3.3.0.x That is a nice feature sometimes, while other times is can be a headache. Yes, but imagine, all of these years, Thunderbird has been offering this default for MSO. This seems to give the view that the .doc and .pdf files have established the norm, when we should be pushing for support for conventions. OpenDocument Format (ODF) support is crucial to our distro. We should try to get support for the ODF formats from as many places as possible. It will only help us. You can always remove these preferences if you like. Unfortunately, I don't believe that Thunderbird (Mozilla) would want to remove the .doc and .pdf formats from the default install, so we may as well push for ODF as well. Cheers Marc Hi :) I think if you find one of those documents that opens in FireFox and right-click, choose Properties then you can set the default program as LibreOffice. Hopefully there is only 1 sub-set of OpenDocuments that have this problem on your machine but if you find other documents opening in FireFox then you might have to repeat this 2 or 3 more times to catch them all. LibreOffice is not a distro it is a suite. Usually OpenSource projects of anything like this size are distros and the unusual way TDF formed is more usual amongst distros so it is easy to make the mistake. It is difficult to think of a generic term that would cover Gimp, Firefox, Mozilla, the distros, small libraries, large organisations but i guess project is about the most generic?

Regards from Tom :) Hi Tom: We are talking about something else. It's the part where, in the body of the text, when you are composing an email, if you type .doc or .pdf a pop-up window on the bottom will rise and prompt you to not forget the attachment. Thunderbird has offered this as a feature at the point of install for quite a few versions. You can also turn this feature of in the preferences setup. In this case, I submitted a feature request for ODF support and it has been accepted and being completed as we speak. No problem with calling LibreOffice a suite/project rather than a distro.

Are there any other pieces of emailing software that do the same but not include the OpenDocument Formats as well? This would certainly advance our cause for the preferred use of OpenDocument Format. Cheers Marc I just got a bugzilla answer from Mozilla on this and it has been accepted. They said that just having the .pdf and .doc extensions was too selective. It looks like they will accept all sets of .od? extentions. No details as to when this will make its appearance in Thunderbird.
