    I'm running ThunderBird email client 1.0.7.
    When I receive a pdf document in an email message I'd like the pdf to be
    displayed within the body of the email itself is that possible?

    If not, I'd like to be able to click on the pdf enclosure and have
    Acroread open. I have acroread installed on my Solaris 9 box but when
    double click the pdf enclosure it try's to download and save the pdf
    file and never finishes downloading/saving and never opens Acroread.

    I have the pdf extension installed in Thunderbird under
    edit/preferences/attachments
    and it says automatically perform the associated action with each of the
    file types.
    Next to pdf it says "open with Acroread"
    Is there anything else I need to do to get this to work?
    Thanks.
