I want to open pdf attachments with okular, but when click to open the

application to open, or else set pdf files to open with okular?

On my dialog screen for attachments, the table is blank. How do I a file type to the content type column on the attachments? There is no way to make a new entry. I assume that there is some way, but it isn't showing up on my screen.

This is actually a common problem, as I search the internet and see that many others have had the same problem, only having gimp available to open pdf files. However, there are no solutions posted that I can find.
