| | File associations in Windows Mail Hi, I have an attachment which is a .doc file. When I try to open the attachment I get the message saying that the file does not have a program associated with it. I have checked the file associations and have made sure that Word is associated with this type of file. However, every time I try to open the attachment I get the same message. I have saved the file and it opens up just fine when I access it out of Windows Mail but I don't always want to save a file to be able to read it! I want it to open in Windows Mail. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how I can solve it? I'm a little mystified! Many thanks. |
