Sorry about the lack of info. I'm running SM 2.0.4 and the OS is Linux, Ubuntu 10.4
I did look in the SM helper apps but didn't see an entry for .doc or .odt files. But then there's no mention of pdf, ps or spreadsheet files either, but they all download OK with the choice of saving or just opening. It's only the word processor files that offer save only without the option to just open. Incidentally, I couldn't see a way of adding to the helper apps list - how do you do that? Thanks, Ray ________________________________ Paul wrote: Ray Chandler wrote: > Not sure if this is a Seamonkey problem or a quirk in BT-Yahoo webmail, but when I receive emails with attachments I get inconsistent results. > If it is any kind of attachment other than a Word doc (or OO equiv), Seamonkey gives me an option to either save the attachment or open it for viewing without saving.

I like Seamonkey a lot and it is my default browser, but this is a real nuisance. Is there a way to make the Word attachment pop-up give me a choice to open rather than save? > > Thanks, > Ray Too much missing info to give a good answer. It also sounds like your Win registry may be messed up a bit. However, assuming that you are running WinXP SP2 and SM 1117: Look in regedit and see what program is supposed to open *.doc files then add an OpenWith executable to the OpenWithList. Or Add a helper *.doc app to SM Helper Apps and fill in the blanks. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
