I have mistakenly told thunderbird to only open attachments in microsoft office and not to ask again but do not have microsoft office how can I undo it?
I do not want to have to purchase Microsoft office just to open these attachments, I just hit the wrong key. Please help!

Tools > Options > Attachments > Incoming tab On the left you will see 'Content Type' Look for the type of document To the right it will say what action to use. Currently it will say eg: 'Use microsoft Office Word' click on the action to get a drop down selection. You can choose another program in the list eg: OpenOffice writer If it does not show in list, select 'Use Other' to see more options. But you do need to have 'OpenOffice' installed in order to select it.
Remember to click on all the OK etc.
OpenOffice is a free software.
