If I tap on the attachment nothing happens. And neither i cannot forward the attachment since it says it's not possible, I can forward only the text inside the email. BTW I found a way to read docs file with fox's: if you upload a doc file to box.com with a pc and then open box.com with fox's browser, you can opn the doc if you switch to the desktop layout of box.com

I'm having the same issue with pdf files.

Maybe this explains what happens. Next question: how do we modify our mime_mapper.js?

1) I cannot open .pdf attachments which I receive by email. It seems from the mail from Lorenzo-g that this is not supported by the OS. This is a big handicap! 2) Worse still, I cannot save the attachments to the SD card. Does anyone know how to do this? Or is extracting attachments not supported by the OS? 3) If I cannot read or extract the attachment, then I want to be able to forward it to another email address to read there. But when I try I get the message "attachments cannot be forwarded". Is there no way around this problem? I would really like Firefox OS to be a success! I use an Alcatel onetouch fire with OS1.3.0.0 firmware revision 02 004 hardware revision 08
