File Associations

[OldManEd]

From time to time I get e-mails with PowerPoint applications attached. I use
Visa and Windows Mail. When I click on the attachment I get a message that
no program is associated with that file. However, when I download the file
to a desktop folder and click on it, Vista has no problem opening
PowerPoint's viewer application.

Where does one set Vista Mail's file associations???? Or is there another
setting somewhere?

Dave:

DO you happen to know if there's a similar fix for .doc -> MS Word?
