Title:
  Thunderbird 3.0.4 doesn't open "octet-stream" PDF attachments

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Many thanks for Your attention.

  If I receive some email including PDF attachments that are coded as
  "application/pdf" MIME type, then I have no problem with this files.

  If I receive some email including PDF attachments that are coded as
  "application/octet-stream" MIME type, then Thunderbird 3.0.4 is not
  able to manage them, and I'm not able to find a way to instruct
  (configure) Thunderbird to open those files with Evince.

  I can't imagine why some sender programs code PDF files as
  "application/octet-stream" ... However it happens often.

  I would like to understand if this is a problems of mine (poor
  configuration of Thunderbird) or if this is a bug of the program.

  Sorry if this is a FAQ. I extensively search the web, and I have found
  MANY discussions (forums) about SIMILAR problems: all the solutions
  I've found didn't fixed my problem.ù

  Many thanks in advance.

  Ciao from Italy.
