I sometimes have to open a .pdf attachment in a Thunderbird email.
It's cumbersome to save the file first.
How can I directly open the .pdf attachment?
I suspect it's in about:config
but didn't find anything that might do it.

Go to your Tools>Options>Attachments, then Click "View & Edit Actions."
Find the PDF extension action, click on it to highlight it, then click
"Change Actions." Select either "Open with Default Application" if the
PDF reader is set as the default action, or Select "Open them with this
application" abd brows your way to your PDF reader. Click "OK."

What application you use to read pdf?
For example I use evince or okular.
Just follow the following steps to map you pdf reader with Tb.
In console type
type your_pdf_read_application_name
It will return the location of main executable.
For example in my system, both evince and okular are under /usr/bin.
Now select any message in Tb that has a pdf attachment. Right click on
that attachment and select Open. You will be prompted to choose your
application. Browse and select the executable that you located using
'type' command' above.
Check 'do this automatically ...' option in the prompt window.
Where and how can I obtain a PDF addon for TB 2.0.0.23?
Thanks,

What you want to do with that PDF addon? Do you have any PDF reader like
Acrobat PDF reader installed in _your system_?
Don, if your issue is different than OP then my suggestion is post your
problem as a separate post.

Nir, in looking I see okular to be part of KDE 4 - is it ahead of evince
or about the same?
Thanks,
