Hello , When I'm starting to write a new massage and I'm attaching a pdf file , i can't open the file from the massage. There is error : cannot be opened because the linked auxiliary application does not exist. Change the connection from the settings.

Could somebody help ?

Preferences/General/Files & Attachments, click the Action for pdf content type and select the correct opening app, or click use Other... and Browse to the exe for the pdf app (see picture).
