Clicking on a PDF attachment in Thunderbird no longer opens it. How can I fix that?

It used to be than when I received a T-Bird message with a PDF attachment, I could click on the attached filename and it would open with the application I had specified in Settings (Acrobat Pro). Now I click on it and nothing happens. This is very annoying because I work a lot with emailed PDF attachements. I've tried re-setting Acrobat as the default in Settings, but that brings no joy.
