I haven't tried yet as until now I have always been able to use a native linux version without any issues. I also haven't tested yet whether the association issue is global or only with the daily version of Thunderbird. I've checked the association definition for Ocular and it has %U specified as a parameter, which works for passing the name and location of the attachment into Ocular for the attachment contents to be displayed. Adding this parameter into the Acrobat association definition doesn't work, so I'm now wondering if there is an equivalent parameter for Acrobat that is supported by Fedora, and does the same thing as %U?
I wonder if it's one of those things where it doesn't pass on a file path, but one of the weird URLs of mounted/psuedo filesystems. I wonder what would happen if you used a handler in between?
A script that Thunderbird passed it to, that passed it to (the not-so- flexible) Acrobat (I couldn't resist that bad pun).
In the past, I'd set the handlers for some awkward browsers to use "xdg-open" as their handler.
