doc attachments won't open

[tomg88]

I have Word 2007 and when someone sends a *.doc attachment it won't open.
If you copy it to the desktop or somewhere else, it opens fine. I did check
default
programs and Word is set to open .doc files

Opening an attachment without saving it first is asking for trouble.
Any editing you do to it won't be saved, since it's just sitting in a
temporary folder that gets deleted when you exit Word.
