How do I disable .pdf attachments opening in Thunderbird. Prior to the latest update attached files would open in Revu now they open in a preview pane in Thunderbird.

Chosen Solution

At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button > Preferences > General > Files & Attachments Locate the entry for Content Type 'Portable Document Format (pdf)'. Select the desired Action for PDF from the drop-down menu.
