Greetings, looks like the launching of external applications within
VM-7.19 no longer works (for some reason).  It seems as though the bug
and thus the dysfunction occurred on the VM-7.18 release (older
versions
seem to be OK).

So with VM-7.19 when I click on a PDF attachment, I get the 'Launching
gv'
on the mod-line but nothing happens where-as with VM-7.17 'gv' actually
starts and comes up.  Here is a snippet,

  (setq vm-infer-mime-types t)
  (setq vm-mime-external-content-types-alist
        '(
          ("application/pdf"      "gv")
          ("application/msword"   "wvMime")
         )
  )

Here is all the other info (just in case),
