In /home/bobg/.thunderbird/inggc4ck.default/mimeTypes I changed vnc to
vlc on two lines which then caused it to once more ask me what
application I wanted to use!
<RDF:Description
RDF:about="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:video/x-ms-wmv"
NC:path="/usr/bin/vlc"
NC:prettyName="vlc"
And that fixes the problem, I selected vlc and the file played.
Thanks for the help.
