Viewing .eml files

I have one browsers which I am unable to read its messages. It always says need to enable HTML viewer. When I try to forward as an attachment it becomes a .eml file that I cannot read. My frustration is I was able to do this easily with the Blackberry Storm. Any ideas?

Hi. I will be happy to look into this for you. What do you mean by one browser? What type of browser are you using? Are you forwarding this attachment through your Gmail? Is this just an HTML file you are forwarding?
Waiting on your reply
Thanks!

How to view *.eml files in Lotus Notes as native application?

Using Desktop Integration for Lotus Notes, and using Contribution Folders via Notes:
I can drop-and-drag an e-mail from lotus notes inbox to the contribution folder (in Notes) ok. I can view the *.eml file in Contribution Folder (Notes and Explorer), when I select "View" from the Contribution Folder it first attempted to open the file in outlook, I then changed the "view with" attribute,to Notes. Notes attempts to open the file and throws an error message: Invalid Directory Name or device not ready.
Has anyone come across this before? If so, how did you ensure application consistency that e-mails declared as "documents" are accessed again via the native application (Lotus Notes not Outlook)?
Many thanks,
A.

Not entirely. At least we came to the conclusion it doesn't make (much) sense to block the save option of PDFs if you want to allow printing them
Anyway; there is of course another possibilty: you could always write your own java bean PDF reader; there are plenty of java PDF libraries available:
Open Source PDF Libraries in Java
The easiest way would be to choose one which can open a PDF from a URL and render it; I would retrieve the image via mod_plsql using WPG_DOCLOAD and simply use the PDF library to render the PDF. No tempfiles anyway, and if you don't implement it there is also no save button.
cheers

[TUTORIAL] Context Menu to export EML files

Hello there folks!
I'm pretty new to the topic of C3PO, GW and all the Novell stuff and one of my tasks was to "code an export mechanism for GW8 thats lats us save e-mails to our storage system". Ok, that was a hammer. But wrapping my head around it and starting to error out the things got me pretty far and I guessed it was tutorial material. So here we go:
@Moderators: This is the thread that has everything in it. the other one can be deleted.
This tutorial is intendend for C# only. I don't like VB and I'm too dumb for C++ so if you need it for another dialect you need to work it out your self.
Agenda:
Needed packages
C3PO wizard
Loading to Visual Studio 2010
Needed Imports/References
Simple MessageBoxing
Export Code
Registering and caching the .DLL
Testing (please help me with a better way here)
1. Needed packages
the novell-gwc3po-devel-2012.11.15.zip file (unzip this after downloading)
an installed version of Visual Studio 2012 C# (or if you want to work with a different dialect choose another)
cmd access to some of the registering tools:
It may be the best thing to set tose paths up in you env variables. Allthough when running the cmd with administrator privileges you can't use regasm from env variables and need to cd to the directory.
RegAsm (regasm.exe): C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 (the version depends on the target)
GACUtil (gacutil.exe): C:\Program Files(x86)\Micrsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\ (this path is also dependent on your target framework version, I chose .NET4)
StrongName (sn.exe): C:\Program Files(x86)\Micrsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\ (this path is also dependent on your target framework version, I chose .NET4)
a good beverage :D (you should obtain multiple of these :D)
2. The C3PO wizard
In my case I wanted to add the functionality via the context menu. So the code executes when right-clicking on one or multiple messages displays another menu item and is clickable.
This is pretty easy to realize via the C3PO wizard. You'll find it in the downloaded and extracted novell-gwc3po-devel-2012.11.15.zip from above. Start it (it is located in extracted-zip-folder/gwc3po-FILES/C3POWizard/C3POWizard.exe) and setup your project:
Setup the project in the wizard step 1
I usually setup the Wizard inside my Visual Studio 2010 projects folder, create a new folder there with the name of the project and check the options i want to have.
In the next step I chose which type of View should display my custom context menu. Since I was only interested in exporting and working with e-mails I chose "GW.MESSAGE.MAIL" and added it to the bottom list via, you guessed it, "Add".
Setup theView that invokes the new context menu item
In the next step you I had to setup a new entry for the context menu. You could make side-droppable menus here etc. But for me a simple "Add Menu" was enough. Give it a name of your choice (beware: I'm yet to find out where to change this setting in the source files).
Creating a Menu Item in step 3
Click through next and the wizard will sum up you choices. In the next dialog window you will be prompted to specify the language you want the code to be generated. I chose .NET C#.
In the prompt after that you will be asked if the wizard should create a .DLL-project. You click yes.
Quit the wizard with the "Done" button.
3. Loading to Visual Studio 2010
Open up your Visual Studio and go to File -> Open Project. Navigate to the folder where you just created the files with the C3PO-Wizard. and open up the .csproj file.
All the files get loaded and it seems quite well. but now it's time for some other stuff: Signing, or better, providing a key for signing.
Allthough the README.txt (also in your project folder) states this is not neccessarily needed I did not get it to work without a key file.
Open up a terminal and tpye in sn /? to see if the environment variables work. If not you can yuse the abolute path to sn (see: 1: Needed packages). If everything works as expected you can generate your keyfile with sn -k <PathToYourProject>\Archive.snk.
In Visual Studio, go to Project -> <ProjectName>-Properties -> Signing -> Sign assembly [x] -> Search and pick the .snk-file you just created.
Good. A first compilation of the project with F6 should rumble through without problems. Go to <ProjectFolder>\bin\Release and copy the .dll files to <GroupWiseInstallPath>.
After that you need to open a cmd windows as administrator and cd to the RegAsm.exe directory and execute the following: [I]regasm "<GroupWiseInstallPath>\<TheDllName>.dll". Then execute gacutil -i "<GroupWiseInstallPath>\<TheDllName>.dll".
RegAsm will register the extension to the Windows registry and GACUtil will cache the .dll content to make it available to GroupWise.
You need to re-cache the .dll everytime you compile in VS. So basically the workflow is Compile -> Copy dll to GroupWise directory -> re-cache with gacutil -i -> Start Groupwise
I have not found a method to post-build execute a script that does that. Problem is the copying and the gacutil caching (both must be done as administrator).
IIf everything worked you see a new entry in the context menu when right-clicking a mail in Groupwise. When you click it, there will appear a message box.
The MessageBox is defined in GWCommand.cs L. ~125
4. Needed Imports/References
Since we got the skeleton to compile and function properly, it's time to get our own code in there. FOr rapid prototyping I do all the stuff in GWCommand.cs.
Go to Project -> add Reference -> COM and select "C3POTypeLibrary", "GroupWareTypeLibrary, "GroupWiseCommander", "GroupWiseConnectorLibrary" and click OK. The selected entries now appear in the project explorer.
5. Simple MessageBoxing
A thing I like to do (because I'm not a very good programmer) is to get all sorts of infos to get displayed with
Code:
MessageBox.Show();
Just fling it in the code and see what get's where etc. An important thing is allready in the comments of the file.
It is this line:
Code:
C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6 myCL = (C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6)WIASSArchivButton.g_C3POManager.ClientState;
. Uncomment it and play around with the myCL-object in your code.
The myCL has some properties we will use later on such as myCL.SelectedMessages which is exactly what we need for our archive functionality.
6. Export Code
Now we get to the code:
With the
Code:
ClientState
dug up in the code we can pass the
Code:
SelectedMessages
into a
Code:
MessageList
. Over this MessageList we will iterate and save each
Code:
Message
with the so called
Code:
GroupWiseCommander
to our disk. well that sounds simple. And, well after digging through a lot of threads here on the forum and the documentation, it is.
Here is the Execute() method from GWCommand.cs:
It has comments that should serve as a documentation.
Code:
public void Execute()
try
switch (m_PersistentID)
case WIASSArchivButton.vWIASS:
//C3PO WIZARD Put execute command code here for WIASS Context menu.
/* this was in the comments and is essential!
* the myCL object provides us everything we need to interact with the messages */
C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6 myCL = (C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6)WIASSArchivButton.g_C3POManager.ClientState;
// get the selected messages
object o = myCL.SelectedMessages;
// and convert the SelectedMessages to a MessagesList
MessageList ml = (MessageList)o;
// iterate over all the selected Messages
// this was tricky: the index of the MessageList starts by 1 and not at 0
for (int i = 1; i <= ml.Count; i++)
// the .Item() method expects either a string or a long
// see http://www.novell.com/documentation/developer/groupwise_sdk/gwsdk_gwobjapi/data/h20s5bdo.html
long index = (long)i;
// instantiate a Message object to get access to the different properties like subject, sender etc
GroupwareTypeLibrary.Message oMessage = (GroupwareTypeLibrary.Message)ml.Item(index);
// instantiate a GroupWiseCommander
// this is the interface to the TOKEN API
// TOKENS: https://www.novell.com/developer/documentation/gwtoken/index.html
GroupWiseCommander.GWCommander cmdr = new GroupWiseCommander.GWCommander();
// the GWCommander has an Execute() method that is able to take certain tokens kind of like SQL
// lets build the token (the complete list is huge and awesome) to save our Messages
// ItemSaveMessage(): https://www.novell.com/developer/documentation/gwtoken/gwtokens/data/hbt0bd7x.html
string tokenCommand = "ItemSaveMessage(\"" + oMessage.MessageID + "\"; \"C:\\archiv\\" + oMessage.MessageID + ".eml\"; 900)";
/* what happens here ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is that we build us a TOKEN command that the
* GWCommander is able to execute.
* the actual command is ItemSaveMassge()
* everything between the semi-colons are the parameters:
* \"" + oMessage.MessageID + "\" : builds an ANSISTRING of the MessageID which we get from the oMessage onject
* \"C:\\archiv\\" + oMessage.MessageID + ".eml\" : build an ANSISTRING of the output filename
* 900 is the type we want to export. 900 stands for Mime
* CAUTION:In this example I use C:\archive\ as the destination folder. It must exist and be writable to the program
// now that we have setup our command we can get it executed by the commander
// the result is sort of a callback variable
string result ="";
cmdr.Execute(tokenCommand, out result);
/* here can the error handling be done with the result string
break;
default:
MessageBox.Show("Unsupported Case", "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
break;
//A way to get the GroupWise client state with newest interface
//C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6 myCL = (C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6)WIASSArchivButton.g_C3POManager.ClientState;
//uncomment the code below to unblock the base command
//IGWCommand baseCmd = (IGWCommand)WIASSArchivButton.g_C3POManager.CreateGWCommand(m_objBaseCmd);
//baseCmd.Execute();
catch (Exception e)
MessageBox.Show("Error Executing GWCommand: " + m_PersistentID.ToString() + " Error: " + e.Message);
return;
7. Registering and caching the .DLL
After that you need to open a cmd windows as administrator and cd to the RegAsm.exe directory and execute the following: regasm "<GroupWiseInstallPath>\<TheDllName>.dll". Then execute gacutil -i "<GroupWiseInstallPath>\<TheDllName>.dll".
RegAsm will register the extension to the Windows registry and GACUtil will cache the .dll content to make it available to GroupWise.
You need to re-cache the .dll everytime you compile in VS. So basically the workflow is Compile -> Copy dll to GroupWise directory -> re-cache with gacutil -i -> Start Groupwise
8. Testing (please help me with a better way here)
Is there a good way to hook every thing up together to jsut stay in VS , compile, files get copied, registered, cached and GW starts?
Thanks for reading!
I wrote this up to have a documentation for myself and others. please let em know if you need help or anything is missing or not clear. It's certainly not a total noob guide and I expect a bit of knowledge to be honest.
Regards
Sebastian

subject should be handled case-in-sensitive.
This sounds like you should implement some sort of SelectedMessagesValidator class just to keep it clean.

As said this works fine for me.
But note that unfortunately the paths to "regasm" and "gacutil" changed
(compared to the time where you wrote your tutorial).
Definitely. That way, as you mentioned, the post build scripts integrate very well.

I can not figure out, where you have the GW.BROWSER thing from, but in my examples I allways used GW.MESSAGES.MAIL

Yes. You can leave it at 2.0. I just have the 4.5 installed so i will target this version

This must be made only once because after a successful build is this .dll known;
keywords: GAC -> cached
But note that "successful" means also that the post-build event ran flawless!)
This is quite specific to your case since my example on exports a flat EML file to the hard drive

and the created "GWSaveToDatabase.snk" file added to the solution.
I don't want to be picky, but it's gacutil that needs the strong names. ragasm is not complaining

And that is definitely wrong!
See:
The result was a C# project that does not show any new context menu entry.
So I tried at the next wizard run "Add Menu Item".
The wizard created again a C# project but still no new context menu entry in the GroupWise client.
(And that after all needed steps
like
copy to GroupWise installation path,
regasm and gacutil over all .dlls
etc.
were successful be made).
It took a complete day to get the idea to "merge" the two wizard created projects!
Why merging?
Because the second project contained a "const" which were used in the switch statement of the "Execute()" method
(with the same meaning like your "WIASSArchivButton.vWIASS" - see your code snippet above!)
and the "CustomizeContextMenu(...)" method in "CommandFactory.cs" looked also different
while the first project does not contained something similar.
( For example:
The "CustomizeContextMenu(...)" method had more statements.
And that made more sense to me compared to the first wizeard created C# project.
Since I uploaded a better example this is obsolete.
Originally Posted by Username951

Means I believe it would work when all
with regasm registered
and
with gacutil to the cache added "things"
would be "un-registerd" and "un-cached".
This is, as I assume, due to the Interop.C3POTypeLibrary.dll. This must me cached every time the project is build. maybe you could use gacutil -i Interop.C3POTypeLibrary.dll -f to force the recaching
Originally Posted by Username951

and "CustomizeContextMenu(...)" methods, etc.
After that the context menu were shown in the GroupWise client!
Thats is correct. But I never had to do this. The thing is, that the "Add Menu Item" is giving you the opputunity to specify a command, which the "Add Menu" doesn't.
Originally Posted by Username951

Means: For example: Three selected emails ends up in three time added context menu.
Solution:
Checking
var existsAlready = menuItems.Item("...");
if (existsAlready != null)
return;
in "CustomizeContextMenu(...)" method and leaving the method under shown circumstances.
I added a fix for this in the second post, but it isn't working in GW2012 anymore. I have a very ubly fix for that in my new code.

This may confuse but it is finally ok. No need to change here anything!
On the other side:
It will NOT work when the registry entry
"SOFTWARE\\Novell\\GroupWise\\5.0\\C3PO\\DataTypes \\...."
will be changed/"adjusted to that GroupWise client version you are currently using"!
This is all part of the official documentation and wasn't touched by Novell since quite a long time.
I think i will make a github repository in the futer as a proof of concept and kind of a accessable documentation for everyone.

Firefox wont open EML files for me any more.

I have saved some files on a flash-drive that I have opened in the past that will no longer open. They have the Firefox logo next to them but they wont open. They say they are EML files but now I can't open them.

Opening a .eml file depends on the email software that you use. For instance, Internet Explorer can now open .eml files since they are basically formatted in the same manner as .mht files are. Simply change the filename extension from .eml to .mht, and the file can now be opened on Internet Explorer. If you have Outlook, simply click the file and it should open easily in the program. If Outlook is not your default application that opens .eml files, simply right-click on the file, choose Open With and then select Outlook Express. Using Windows Mail, simply drag and drop the .eml file into one of your folders and click on it to open it.or u can use a FIREFOX EML file viewer software .

How to open largest .eml files for Entourage through script

Hi,
I have 150 MB .eml file , this file i want to open as view mode in Microsoft Entourage.please let me know, if any one have idea. I am working in snow leopard.

I want to open Avi files which are compressed via different codecs.
How i able to open those videos through JMF.You'd need a version of the codec that JMF can use...which basiclly means it needs to be written for JMF.
Actually i am trying for indeo video 5.0,4.0,3.0 because it is by default supported in windows xp and mac pc.
Please tell me if there is any codec which can open videos for me.
If any third party is also available then tell me.No telling. Check google.
Can i use directx.So that all those codecs which are supported in windows system can open.
Please tell me if any possibility is there.
Can i use windows\system32\ir50_32.dll i.e dll from intel for supporting indeo video 5.0 in windows.
which is residing at system32.You could write your own custom codec for those using JNI and whatever functions from the DLL you need, but there's no built-in way to do it.

Apple Script For Opening External EML File With Apple Mail

Hi folks,
   I am working with Apple Script for implementing numerous function related to Mail App.
  I am using the following Apple Script lines for opening the mails which are in Mail app for each modes.
  View Mode : open theMsg 
Reply View Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes 
Reply All Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes reply to all yes 
Forward Mode : forward theMsg opening window yes   
I want to know how we can open external eml file in different view modes (View, Reply, Reply All and Forward) using Apple Script or Apple Event programmatically with a similar mechanism available through script in Mail App. 
 Thanks in advance.  Regards
 Nisar

I'm not sure what you're doing here, but this isn't anything I recognize as compilable applescript. what is this 'mode' thing you're talking about.
at any rate, if you have a loose emlx file sitting around somewhere you can simply open it in mail (use the 'open' command and the file specification for the emlx file) and work with it appropriately. if you're talking about an actual eml file (e.g. from Outlook Express) you'd have to GUI script Mail's 'import mailbox' command (the applescript handler for importing mail only works with Mail.app mailboxes)

Emails that were veiwed from .eml files

After viewing and then closing .eml files from a flash drive, they are somehow part of my inbox now. Not sure why or how this happened but I need them out. Any help is much appreciated.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

I have MS 365.Having trouble with OneDrive for Business (ODFB). Converted all my files fromolder versions to Office 2013.The ODFB filehad a Red X in front of it. I went through each folder and changed file namesand removed symbols like #. I had to cut and paste some files and delete theold one.No matter how much file updates the Red X never left.Some files have the Green check mark, but others had the Blue circle. (PS which is way toosmall and similar too green, so hard to see)So I removed all the files and started adding them one by one which is tedious. Still allthe files don’t have the green check mark.So I removed all the files that had the Red X.But still have the blue cross. I also have ODFB the little icon on my toolbar. It says ‘syncing’ Last night is had 470 files. This morning it was still syncing the same amount. I removed...

Ability to view multiple files in ONE window

I can see here that this is not a new topic really but the thing with Acrobat 9 is so frustrating that it is just unbelievable.
This is another pearl:
Acrobat 9 "lost" its predecessors ability to view multiple files in ONE window. After opening four only documents I cannot see anything on the screen because the toolbars on each individual window cover all necessary view and nothing is left for the actual document. And sometimes I need to open 20 documents!
This is ABSOLUTE DISASTER!!!
I found some explanations from Adobe on the Web that are more than a year old.
I was sure that by now this unfortunate mishandling of that feature (apparently it was dropped out from A9 deliberately - WHO'S IDEA WAS THAT?) would be somehow restorable.
Would anyone happen to know if this feature can get restored to how it was working in A7 or 8 (without the need to uninstall A9 and install A8)?

No, it can't be restored, unless Adobe decides to change the way Acrobat works (which is possible, but not likely).
By the way, it was Microsoft's idea... Adobe were just following their example on this.

How to view PDF files like a flipping magazine?

Hi, I am new here. I didn't know if it is the optimum catagory for my question, I hope you guys will help me.
In brief, I want to view PDF files like a flipping magazine. You know, just the same flipping effect that ibook did on ios. Adobe reader is the only choice to browse PDF on computer for me. It's kind of bothering and annoying now.
So, any ideas for that? Plus, my computer runs on win7 64bit.

This is also a good site: http://www.issuu.com/ You can sign up and use it for free or you can upgrade(for a price) to make custom changes (like background color, button color, etc.) You can also embed the html code into your website if you would like someone to view it there. Good luck!

AdobeAcrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF Files in Web Browser...what do I need to do to fix this..

I just got Windows 7 and have been having problems since loading it. Most of my drivers only go to Vista and don't recognize 7.
I have trying to download some manuals from their website
and keep getting this message; Adobe Acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser.

Could I suggest a workaround for PDFs until a solution is posted? Open them directly in the Adobe application rather than in a browser tab.
In your Adobe application(s), go to:
Edit > Preferences > Internet
Then uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
(There are very few sites where having PDF integrated is really beneficial.)

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)

Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Reader 9.2 - "can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser"

Hello,
I recently deployed Adobe 9.2 within our organization. I used the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 to transform the install set, and selected the "Display PDF in Browser" option as default.
When opening a PDF linked from a web URL, we get the message: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again." This occurs under IE8 and IE6, in both Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7.
If I launch Adobe Reader and unselect "Display PDF in Browser" in preferences, PDFs open normally.

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Adobe 9.1.3 and FireFox 3.5.1+ "...can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser"

This is the issue but I'm not sure there is a resolution:
Firefox: Version 3.5.1
Adobe: Version 9.1.3
When navigating the web, click a URL that opens a PDF inside the browser and you get an error * "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is
running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser". Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again". I did read a post that doing a "repair" from the Adobe Reader application should fix this, they also reference a few registry keys to check becuase the post states it's lost the application path to Adobe version X. I don't necessarily buy that "fix" and here are my details below.
In FireFox if you navigate to Tools > Options > Applications > Adobe Acrobat Document
You're given choices:
Always ask: DOES NOT WORK, produces afore mentioned error *
Save File: Works, saves the file to a directory on your PC
Use Adobe Reader 9.1 (defau...: Works, opens your PDF's outside of your web browser
Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox): DOES NOT WORK, produces afore mentioned error *
Use other...:
IE seems to just work as expected.
If you open Adobe Reader > Edit > Preferences > Internet > Check "Display PDF in browser" - DOES NOT WORK, produces afore mentioned error *
This would seem to be an Adobe error rather than a FireFox web browser problems since FireFox does seem to know the correct path although I suppose you can't rule out that this is a FireFox problem since 2 out of the 4 PDF open options DON'T WORK.
Any thoughts on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Other information:
Adobe 8.1.5 works perfectly with FF 3.5.1+ when opening PDF's in the web browser, we also had no problems with previous versions either.
MSI push via Active Directory from Adobe 8.1.5 upgrade to Licensed Distribution I signed up for, Adobe 9.1.3 which was upgraded from 9.1.0, to 9.1.2, to 9.1.3 via an MSP patch.
Operating system: Windows XP SP 2, plenty of RAM, plenty of Drive
IE version this works with the new version of Adobe 9.1.3 is version 7 (7.0.5730.13)
Our FireFox MSI's come from Front Motions website and as far as I know we've never had problems with their MSI's, also tried the new release of FF 3.5.2 from their website.
I think that about covers it. Anyone else experiencing the same problems or have a patch?

After troublshooting this for the entire day today the issue seems to be a MIME problem.
If everything is woking perfectly, in Tools > Options > Applications...
You should see 4 or more things related to Adobe like "Adobe Acrobat Forms Document", etc. If you don't see at least 4 MIME entries either your Adobe installation is hosed or your FF installation is hosed. I haven't figured out which is causing the issue.
What I did was remaster my patches from my original Adobe 9.1.0 MSI with the two updates via the command line in the directories with the source files. On the 9.1.0 original file I first remastered my MST transform with the Adobe MST utility. I then applied my patches.
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd912_all_incr.msp
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd913_all_incr.msp
I then uploaded that to my network share, unlinked my group policy, made a new group policy, added a batch file to delete adobe.com from program file and the desktop on system startup even though my MST was supposed to take care of that - it's not a perfect world is it? :-)
I then reapplied my GPO's for both FireFox 3.5.2 and Adobe 9.1.3, I checked to make sure the MIME extensions were there and they were. You might have to go into your Adobe Preferences and select that open in browser setting depending on what happens or adjust your MIME settings in FireFox's options but it should work.
That's what worked for me. It's possible a few other things I did along the way tweaked it out, in my group policy on the first run I did select to upgrade previous group policies, for the remaster and repush I didn't select any previous GPO's to upgrade.
It's hard to tell what one thing tweaked it out or what combination of things tweaked out the install. I did also reinstall Adobe 8.1.5 and FF 3.0.10 before doing all this since our machines currently have that setup, I'm not sure if that affected it either, it's just hard to tell but I don't think it did simply because I had done that several times in troubleshooting this issue.
If anyone else has more specifics that would be great!
