You HAVE to open email attachments with Docs ToGo
 

I tried uninstalling Docs ToGo everything and it won't let me open up Word attachments with any other program.
Actually, after I click the attachment it just sits idle like I didn't do anything
Help?

Help please!

Hm. That's interesting, attachments have been giving me some issues lately. I just chalked it up to the mail client being so crappy. I'll try this out, brb.

EDIT: I can't even open attachments, consider yourself lucky.

Thanks for trying.

I don't get it, we are not allowed to open up docs with any programs we please?
(I mean, would that render the whole buying of DocsToGo obsolete, so we are forced to purchase it to open email docs?)

I am hoping it's just me that has this problem

@thefoxtrot:

whats the other program you are using to open word file ? I had similar problem when I installed FreOffice before uninstalling DocsToGo. ReInstallation solved it.

same question here

Re: You HAVE to open email attachments with Docs ToGo
 

I'd guess that the email app requires applications to register their capabilities with it, rather than offering a list of every single binary on your system. In fact, looking through the list of files installed as part of DocsToGo, it's probably done via the MIME handler. Presumably other apps are not registering the MIME handlers, or there's only support for a single handler per MIME type.

Thanks, I will try this once it lets me reinstall FreOffice. Says I am missing application packages. Yay.

Re: You HAVE to open email attachments with Docs ToGo
 

So under this assumption, I would be forced to purchase DocsToGo?

Re: You HAVE to open email attachments with Docs ToGo
 

when u have opened the email, click the top bar where the email name is and save attachment. then open freoffice and then open your saved attachment. is this what you mean?

Re: You HAVE to open email attachments with Docs ToGo
 

Perfect, that'll work! Thanks
Once I get FreOffice to download, it'll be all good

Re: You HAVE to open email attachments with Docs ToGo
 

No, whatever alternative you're using needs to create the appropriate MIME files. And if DocsToGo was installed later, you'll need to reinstall your alternative, as DocsToGo would have overwritten the MIME files.

Ideally you'd be able to have multiple handlers registered, and get prompted for which to use.

OOOH.
Ok, I get it. Perfect.
Another earlier post kind of said the same thing as yours.
Thanks.
