I could not open the attached pdf files in Window Mail directly from the
paper clip icon drop down menu. However I can open it after saving the
attachement to other folders like desktop. The error msg (simplified version):

The file does not associate with a prog, set it at control panel.

But the control panel setting show pdf was associated to Adobe reader 9.1.

Please help.

I'm sure there is a Eudora users forum somewhere.

Are you telling me the Eudora users forum has no Vista experts? :-)

One possible fix for that problem is to install the Foxit PDF reader:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/

It seems to do a better job of registering itself with the OS than
Adobe Reader does. I ran into similar problems with Windows Mail,
and used the published fix for that:
http://www.winhelponline.com/article...dows-Mail.html
but the fix never lasted very long. I think part of the problem is that
Adobe frequently sends out updates, which causes the 'fix' to be reset.

You're describing a well know long existing problem that has no
solution other than detaching the attachment and opening it from a
file.
