Forgot to mention - readers for PDF are free.

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.

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

Teresa,

Go to www.adobe.com

and download and install Adobe Reader 8 (its free) and then you will be able
to open and read PDF files.
