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.
