| | Unable to open .DOC attachments directly from Windows Mail in Wind When I open a .DOC file that came as a mail attachment in Windows Mail, I see the Open / Cancel dialog box. When I select Open, the following error is displayed: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel. I already have Word asssociated with .DOC files. The same file opens correctly when saved to disk, and then viewed. |
