       Hello, Holger.

HG> This morning I have been fighting with T-bird. The swedish ham bulletin
HG> arrives as an attached .pdf file, and I have been trying to open it
HG> after it has "downloaded", only to be greeted by T-bird that it can't be
HG> opened unless connected.

       I do not think that this ia a TB problem. You need to as per my title, set the
default programme for any one file type. Find the Control Panel -> Default
Program -> god down the list to .pdf -> upper right to change and follow the
instructions. Kid's play !

HG> I am shaken, because the PMMail in OS/2 didn't behave like that.

       No help here at all, sorry. I do a little mail in Google, not much. I use TB
for old time sake and to read you. It has been down, I mean not used much
lately, the old stand-by are quiet.

HG> I only took a break from it, to read the Fido mail, so here I am !

       And I too.

HG> To keep the machine protected, AVG or not, I avoid to have it connected
HG> longer than necessary to send/rcv messages.

       The best protection, as Alan once mentioned, is the interface between the KB
and the chair. I use here, Windows Defender, but mostly very careful web
searches. Never had a virus nor a warning of any strange behaviour.

       Spring is about here, no frost predicted for the week, yeah !
