[X-Newbies] Re: haveing trouble open a pdf attachment...

TO that end, I have never been able to find the setting that allows  
you to download the PDF file instead of letting it open in the browser.
One must press on the link and choose download to disk to accomplish  
this.
IN past, I would simply not have the plug in active to prevent my  
grasshoppers from exploding their browsers on 300 MB PDF files...
