[Bug 234349] [NEW] thunderbird opens pdf links (urls) in firefox and not directly in evince

[liorda]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

I'm getting many emails with links to pdf files (such as
"http://domain.com/document.pdf").

expected behavior:
when clicking on the link, thunderbird should know this is pdf file and open evince (or any other pdf viewer) itself.

current behavior:
thunderbird opens firefox with the link location. firefox then asks me to open/save the pdf file.
