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 !
