Thunderbird sees attached .doc files as though .pdf and cannot open them
I have Windows 10. All was working OK till recently. Now I cannot open attached .doc files as Thunderbird sees them as .pdf and tries to open with Adobe. 2013 Word is happy to open these files but only if I save them to disk first.

On the left side: 'Microsoft Office Word 97 -2003 document (.doc) It should have an action: select 'Use Microsoft Office Word (default)' click on OK
You could post image of this window if it helps to describe your issue.

This solution is what I started with but did not work. Since then, either Microsoft has fixed something (I have had an avalanche of W10 updates) or I have reset something else. Either way, Thunderbird is back to its usual self.
