There are two basic approaches to this:
1) Save the attachment to your hard disk and open it from there.
With Adobe Reader installed, Windows will already know how to
handle PDFs.
2) Open the attachment in SeaMonkey. Right-click the filename in
the attachment pane and choose "Open." If as you say SeaMonkey
doesn't know how to handle PDFs, it will ask for instructions. When
you choose Adobe Reader, check the box telling SM to do this every
time it encounters a PDF and you'll be fine from then on.
Paul, would another (a third) possibility for Doctor Bill be to
select Edit->Preferences->Browser->Helper Applications and there
select what he wants to open his PDF attachments in the Browser
screen??
Yes, provided SM has already seen at least one PDF and saved a policy
decision. I wasn't ready to make that assumption, since he says it
doesn't know how to handle them. If there's no entry in the prefs, how
can he edit it?
I would also note that websites serve PDFs with several different MIME
types, so an "experienced" copy of SeaMonkey will have several entries
in the prefs. Mine has five, for example.
