If I receive some email including PDF attachments that are coded as "application/pdf" MIME type, then I have no problem with this files. If I receive some email including PDF attachments that are coded as "application/octet-stream" MIME type, then Thunderbird 3.0.4 is not able to manage them, and I'm not able to find a way to instruct (configure) Thunderbird to open those files with Evince. I can't imagine why some sender programs code PDF files as "application/octet-stream" ... However it happens often. I would like to understand if this is a problems of mine (poor configuration of Thunderbird) or if this is a bug of the program. Sorry if this is a FAQ. I extensively search the web, and I have found MANY discussions (forums) about SIMILAR problems: all the solutions I've found didn't fixed my problem.รน Many thanks in advance. Ciao from Italy.
