Are we all short of work right now? The amount of time and energy we've spent beating each other up over this trivial issue has already dwarfed any labour saving due to being able to double-click on an attachment. I promise never to attach another one.
Let's go back to something new and fresh, such as sailing downwind faster than the wind. ;)

Well? Let's see? My 25-year-old electrolytics are forming up just ducky. I'm quite amazed. ...Jim Thompson

They used to make a lot of things better, 25 years ago. I was better looking then myself. ;)

The DWFTTW thing did suggest some interesting DC/DC converter configurations that I hadn't considered before.
I do like to stack DC/DCs in strange ways.

I don't think it's a set-up issue. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough:
Saving the files to disk from TB works fine. No problem there. TB even uses the original file name.
But if I try to open the .asc files diretly from Thunderbird with right-click->open, then TB pops up the dialog, where you can chose "Open with: scad3.exe" and "Save File", etc. Using the first doesn't let me choose the filename, but creates the temporary file with the appended .txt as stated above.
Saving to disk first manually is good enough for me. I was just curious if there is way to open the files from TB directly.

Suggest we stop that discussion here, it is no longer productive.

Can that be done? Wide-eyed wonder!

'Control Program for Microprocessors' has nothing to do with DOS/Windows.

You're right. You won't listen, since you know everything. PLONK.

Ha! It prompted me to spend a couple of hours tracking down where debian stores all its mime information, and how to start wine programs with a file parameter. Just so I can get a nice LT icon on my LTSpice files and they open when I double-click them :)
That was a good one :)

You've obviously never used CP/M.
CP/M's file system was the inspiration for the design of the DOS FAT file system, employing the 3 character suffix.

No pun intended but if you had listened you'd know that I am not using a browser. If you had used the polite method of asking questions instead of hurling bad words you'd know that calling up *.asc works from email accounts but not from news accounts in this version. That is _in_ the _same_ program.

Actually I have. A cartridtge for the C64, and a C128 with CP/M built in. Other OS also used a three chatracter extension, so the file name and extension fit into two bytes.

I think that Dec's RT11 os had a lot of influence on CPM, then DOS.
But the Microsoft DOS file structure is a lot more like Dec's DOS-11. RT11 only supported contiguous files.

Thank you. I was trying to remember which Digital Equipment system had that. But I was too lazy to look it up.
It also wouldn't surprise me if some IBM equipment did the same about the time the floppy was being made. But I couldn't tell you what IBM systems used it. I still have some 8 inch floppies kicking around to scare the next generation with.

Same 8.3 file naming limits, where do you think dos came from?

Yeah, right...
