In hotmail, when I click on a PDF attachment, the only option is to download; I can't get it to open automatically, even though I have preferences set to use Acrobat Reader for files with PDF extensions.

I am using a Mac operating OS X version 10.6.8. I would like to open PDF attachments with a single mouse click in emails that I view in MS Hotmail. Now, when I click on the document I get a dialog box and the only option is to download the file. Thus, I have to download the file and then click on the document in the download list in order to open it. Note that within websites, I am able to open PDF files with Acrobat with a single mouse click. Thank you.

This is actually based on how the site handles different file types; Hotmail gives it to the browser as "application/octet-stream" or something like it, whereas sites that properly open it in the browser tag it as "application/pdf". Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about this without setting up a proxy to rewrite the HTTP headers. Complaints to Hotmail in the past haven't worked, and it's not possible to override the behavior in Firefox.

Thanks much for the reply. Given that Safari can handle the attachments appropriately it seems like is should be possible for Firefox to.
