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.
Thank you Daniel ! and you are right Paul, I
don't didn't know enough to even look there.
If you don't use the menu every day, at least I
myself tend to forget all the nuances.....
So I did go to "Edit->Preferences->Browser->Helper
Applications"
and looked there. MANY Adobe items were there.
Five referring to Adobe Acrobat !
When clicked on my choices were Always ask or
save file.
Somehow I got a choice of always use Adobe Acrobat
and clicked it. Now I works in mail.
Don't know if it works in the Browser because I
don't know any web links that have pdf files to
try out.... "Ignorance is expensive"
BUT - You fellows have set me on the right path !
Thank you so much !
