With attachments in thunderbird I can open .xlsx files directly but not .docx I'm using open office 4.0.1 please help
Clicking on .docx attachments the screen just fashes briefly but then nothing happens. I have to download the .docx files then they open normally.
With .xlsx clicking on these attachments open normally

I also have the issue. TB 24.6, MS Word 2010 (via Office pro 2010) attachment options (both doc and docx) are set to open in MS Word. Upon clicking, it flashes the screen and ...nothing. I can save, detach, and the document functions as normal. TB just will not open from within. Powerpoint, excel all operate via clicking on the attachment...just not Word

If there was no entry at all you'd be prompted for an action.

What happens when you save the docx file to disk, and try to open it with OpenOffice Writer?
