[arch-general] [OT] Settings problem: Why is Thunderbird so silly?

[ber532k]

Hi,

what worked for me was navigating to /usr/bin or even /bin within the 
"Choose Helper Application" dialogue and then selecting an executable 
(in this case libreoffice). The "Choose Helper Application" dialogue 
will even remember it was in /usr/bin when you invoke it again.
Reminds me of the way to do stuff in Windows Vista - back when I was 
young and ignorant ;) - where you'd "Open with" something like 
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Microsoft Office\WINWORD.EXE". Not quite an 
elegant way of managing programms, but it works most of the time.

Regards
