    Thanks to Andrew Hay for the fix.
    Turns out I had the wrong path to acroread defined in Thunderbird.
    I can double click pdf's and now Acroready opens.

    Now if I can only get URL links to open up Firefox.
    Any tricks to that??

    Below is my original question.

    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?
