| | W Mail and associations When are Microsoft going to fix the annoying problem that even if a file association, for say .doc or .xls, is set correctly, and the application is correctly installed; Windows Mail will not recognise the association for an attachment, and the attachment has to be saved - then the association works? Most frustrating! -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |
