[Bug 487057] [NEW] Thunderbird starts virusscan instead of the right application when opening attachments

[Markus Drexelius]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Since upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 thunderbird doesn't start the appropriate application when opening an attachment. Thunderbird always asks me to open it with virusscan. So I have always to save the attachment to the disk and open it via nautilus. 
This happens not with all attachements, some are recognized well, so acroread or openoffice is proposed for opening it.
