I'm unable to attach one particular pdf. file to e-mail in Thunderbird. When I try to attach it, the name of the file as atachement is displayed but pdf. icon is not shown.

Does anybody have any idea what I need to do? I have no problem to attach the same file using my Yahoo! e-mail or any problems to attach other pdf. files in Thunderbird. ▲ Collapse
