I'm using Thunderbird 3 on Fedora 12. How do you specify applications for
handling attachments? At the moment the only option it's offering for
PDFs and JPEGs is to save them, I'd like to open PDFs in Acroread and to
see JPEGs inline.

I don't know about Thunderbird, but generally, Linux apps should handle
attachments according to the contents of /etc/mailcap or ~/.mailcap .

Hello.

Try installing the "OpenAttachmentByExtension" addon. It works well for me :-)

Where did you find it? I can't find it on the Thunderbird addon site, the
only places where it appears are on Mac sites and I haven't been able to
download it from any of them.

I found the reference in a mozillazine article.
