Hi Daniel,

It looks as if you have changed this variable somehow. The default value
is:
((auto-mode . emacs)
 ("\\.mm\\'" . default)
 ("\\.x?html?\\'" . default)
 ("\\.pdf\\'" . default))

With the default settings you have two options:

1. Add the following line to ~/.mailcap (user only) or /etc/mailcap
   (typical location of system-wide settings on Linux).

application/pdf; evince %s

2. Change the default settings per Jan's instructions:

Changing the pdf setting in this way does nothing to the
auto-mode-alist. The auto-mode cons cell simply instructs org-mode to
open any file matching a regexp in auto-mode-alist within emacs.

Could you explain what problem you mean here? I believe it was Leo who
reported the problem, while Jan offered a solution.

Best,
