In linux I just resolved this for a friend by having him: <quote> Edit|Preferences|Browser|Helper Applications|search 'wmv' and then use: Use Movie Player (default). You can then right click on the wmv attachment & select 'Open' and it will automatically open Movie Player & play the video. When finished you're back to your email pane. </quote> Perhaps you can do similar for Windows? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
