How can I open a pdf attachment in Mozilla Thunderbird?
In my Thunderbird email account, I checked a box for MSWord to open all attachments, but I would like to reverse that decision since I got a pdf attachment, and MSWord doesn't open that. How do I change it back to the way it was so the pdf attachment can be opened with adobe?

- in the 'Content Type' column:
- look for: Microsoft Office Word document
- then look at the 'Action' for it
- click on the current Action and select 'use Microsoft Office Word'
If this is already setup ok then leave alone and do the next step.
Is there a 'Content type' for Adobe Acrobat Document' ? If yes,
- click on the Action and select 'Use Adobe Acrobat' or 'Adobe Reader'
- click on OK
If there is no 'Content type' for Adobe Acrobat Document' then click on OK and do the next step below.
- Locate email with pdf attachment
- right click on attachment and choose Open
- select 'Open with' and choose 'Adobe Reader'
- select 'do this automatically for files like this from now on.'
- click on OK
