I tried the above suggestion, but no go.  I've also removed Acrobat
Reader 6.0 from the computer altogether.  When I try to open a pdf file
in Thunderbird, it asks me whether I want to save, or open with a listed
program.  Usually, there is an option (with any other file-type) to open
with an existing program, or to choose your own program to open it with.
However, all that's listed in the list is Acrobat Reader 6.0, still,
even though it's not on the computer anymore.

Does anyone know of any other preference files I need to trash to get
Thunderbird to let go of it's association to Reader 6.0?
