When I allow T-Bird to have MS Word directly open a document it opens it as read-only.
Initially I was asked if I wanted a particular document opened with a particular app. I said yes and indicated that MS word should be used to Open .doc files. That it does fine exceept it opens them as read-only. If I first save the document and then open it with MS Word it opens it as a edit-able document. Is there an option that allows the "internal" opening to open all documents in the status they were sentt?

I'd ask this in a Microsoft forum. Thunderbird has no visibility how Word handles documents. It may also be a Word security measure.
