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

[Markus Drexelius]

I have now deinstalled clamav and after that the problem doesn't occur
any longer. Reinstalling clamav brings back the problem.

Is it a bug or a feature? I think it's a good idea to start a virusscan
first and after that to appropriate application. But in the moment you
don't have a chance to open the application. Clamavtk starts, the virus
scan is done and that's all. Then you can save the file to disk, start
nautilus and open it. That's very circuitous...

There could be two solutions: when opening an attachment from thunderbird the virusscan should be done in the background and then opening the appropriate application (that's would be my preference).
Or: in Clamavtk there should be a button "Open file", which starts the appropriate application and opens the scanned file.
