| | Re: How do I read a PDF email file attachment? Windows Mail has a known bug, where you have to save the pdf attachment to disk before you can open it.

This happens to many users. Workaround is to save the attachment (f.i. to your Desktop), and open it from there. Saludos Roland -- Probleme mit OE? Hier gibt es die Lösungen: <http://oe-faq.de>!

| | Re: How do I read a PDF email file attachment? I have upgraded to the Windows Live Mail beta (which is due to replace Windows Mail soon) and it does not have this problem - I just double click and the PDF opens, for me in acrobat reader. WLM beta is available here - http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas "Roland Bierlein" <robier@gmx.de> wrote in message news:f4jud1.5ms.1@insigne.cervisiola.de... > Buenas tardes: *Teresa* escribió: > >> Since we switched to Vista I'm unable to open/read PDF file attachments >> when >> receiving emails. > > This happens to many users.
