481197 - make open attachment use the default Linux mime type and the gtk+ app choicer

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 296443

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Jelle de Jong]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009020409 Iceweasel/3.0.6 (Debian-3.0.6-1)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird/2.0.0.19

I would like to see icedove (Mozilla Thunderbird) have an better integration with the GTK+ widgets, for example the open applications, and print dialog. 

I have multiple user that feel very alienated when using iceowl in there GTK+ based environment. When opening attachment like txt, pdf, odt, ogg, etcetera it often comes up with an non understandable dialog and selection method for a normal non computer literated user interface.

Please improve the integration and user interface, making it better possible to use free/libre open source desktop applications for enterprise collaboration solutions.

Reproducible: Always

The code in question is contained entirely within the core Mozilla distribution. Thunderbird will get at the same time as the rest of Mozilla.
