Can't open graphic attachments to thunderbird
Thunderbird 24.5.0 on Win7.// Emails with graphics attachments (.jpg etc) cannot be opened directly from Thunderbird. When clicked to open, anti-virus scans them, but no further action takes place. In order to open graphics attachments, I must save them and then open. Other attachments open normally (.doc .pdf, etc)

Tools menu (alt+T) > options > attachments and delete any entries for the file types causing trouble.
Delete do not fix, even though the option is there.
Now open an attachment.

Of interest, but does not solve the immediate problem.

Thanks, Matt. Works well.
I thought I was being smart by specifying the app to open my jpg files and instead was prohibiting them from opening at all! I guess I'll never learn the logic of some programmers!
From now on, "If it ain't broke, I'll not fix it!"
You will find if you look now that there is a new entry for those file types that contains the correct information. I recommend deleting, because getting it right is always easier with a wizard, and when there is no entry you get the what do I do with this wizard.,
