Option to save but not to play .wmv file (Linux)

[nyjetshead]

Any work around for this short of saving and opening the file?

[jjzhuang]

don't understand the question. can you be specific?

[nyjetshead]

.wmv file attached to an email can't be played within Zimbra Desktop you have to save it then play it.
.MPG will play though.

[jjzhuang]

where did you send the email? and could you describe the issue in words here so other users can see as well?

[nyjetshead]

When I receive an Email with an attachment (.wmv), I can't open without saving it first.
I also looked to see if there was some option via the file associations within Fedora that could change this behavior, I'm not finding it.

Did you solve this? As I am having problems opening PDF's and open office documents.

Plugins are installed and showing in Firefox (Redhat EL5 Linux)

That's going to be a problem if you use the browser to access the Desktop server and depends on the file associations in the browser. Does it happen when you use the Desktop UI?

I only use the browser for Zimbra use no desktop software.

In Firefox settings it lists .pdf as always ask.
Also Openoffice document associations are all listed but the only one that works is .xls

All other attachments have a ? symbol whilst the .xls has the Microsoft Excel logo.

Then you've posted this in the wrong forum, I'll remove your post as I see it's now in the correct forum.
