Mail announce in Thunderbird (Ubuntu 8.04)

[Ray Parrish]

I use a .wav file for my mail download announcement, so I'm sure you can 
use one. I just checked in preferences in Thunderbird, and it will 
*only* let me choose .wav files, so I don't know why yours won't let you.

Try just typing the path and filename of the .wav file in the Location 
box of the file selection dialog that occurs after you select Browse 
from the main settings dialog. You may have to first click the icon in 
the top left corner of the file selection dialog to see the Location 
box. [the icon looks like a sheet of paper]

Later, Ray Parrish
