Hello, normally when I receive a mail with e.g. a PDF included, I had two options. Right under the mail I van save the added file, and left I had the possibility to "open" it without saving it. This left option has disappeared and I can't find how to "re-install" it. I know that the right option allows me to open or store the PDF, but I was more pleased with the left possibility. How can I restore this? Thanks and best regards. Ernest Matton

Hello again, I must have been tired yesterday when I posted the above message. This morning I found the solution myself. It seems that in the profile there is a tab marked "Bijlagen" (in dutch. I suppose in english you would say "Addenda or something". And there I found the way Thunderbird should handle the different added files. And for PDF it stated "download". I changed it to "open with Adobe Reader" and everything works fine again. My concern now is: why was this changed without me noticing? Thnaks anyway if anyone started to find an answer to my question. Very best regards? Ernest
