Description (last modified by alec)

When I click on an attached PDF, it always opens a new browser window only to display the PDF in en external program, because I have no PDF plugin installed.
This is rather annoying.

Suggestion: Use JavaScript? to determine if there is a PDF plugin. If not, don't try to open it in an embedded window and just let me download it.

I usually use the attached JS code to test this.
