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)

Soluție aleasă

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.

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.,
