I too noticed thunderbird had started to use an internal pdf viewer when I received my energy bill today. The internal viewer doesn't have to option to "save as".
Luckily it's easy to stop it and go back to using the pdf viewer program.
Edit -> preferences -> general -> files & attachments -> portable document format (pdf) -> select "use document viewer (default)

Elsewhere someone suggested that and it worked. Never heard of it till then! I'd expect it to pop up automatically as an option, like Evince did, though the trend now seems to be for either Firefox or Thunderbird to open them within the program, not outside it. But that's a bit off topic.

I'm using the latest Mint Mate and yes, Evince is no longer here. It's been replaced with Xreader 3.2.2 (https://github.com/linuxmint/xreader) This looks like a copy of another document viewer previously included in Mint Mate.
I personally haven't used Evince for a while.
Cheerio! Bart

The background is this. Suddenly document viewer wasn't in the list of options to open a pdf a while back. I've always used Evince so I found and installed it. All was well, but now it only shows the Adobe logo, not the front page of the pdf. How do I fix that, and is it connected to the fact that Mint doesn't seem to have an up to date version of it? (It used to just be a case of renaming the file but this doesn't work any more.)
