When I was using Windows Live Mail and clicked on a jpg attachment to an email, it opened in Windows Live Mail. When I try this with Thunderbird nothing happens. The Tools-Options-Attachments tab in Thunderbird shows nothing under incoming "content type" or "action". How can I define Windows Picture Viewer as the default for this?

Hi Matt, thanks for responding, but things seem to have fixed themselves now. Before when clicking on a jpg attachment at the bottom of the email, nothing occurred, but now it opens in Windows Picture Viewer. Whether it is something I have inadvertently remedied by my fiddling I don't know, but at the moment all's well. cheers Russell

What happens when you select a JPEG attachment and ask Thunderbird to open it?
