I know this is not what you want to see/hear...

When I get a PDF attached email in Pluto I have absolutely no problem
double clicking the attachment PDF and getting it opened in *my* default
PDF reader... Foxit PDF reader.

I get so many PDFs these days that will not open in RISC OS PDF readers...
There are only so many times an app can piss me off before I give up and
get the stuff transferred automatically via Uniserver to the PC side and
Foxit.
