Getting Outlook to auto open PDF attachments?

[Devin Serink]

Basically, I need to route a few hundred emails a day sent from a fax
server, all of which have a pdf attached. Ideally, I want to be able to
just select an email and have the pdf open up in the reading pane. Security
is not an issue. Is there any way using settings, macros or addins that
would allow this? Even having it open up the pdf in acrobat when i double
click the message would be an improvement. Right now I have to open the
message first, then the attachment.

Can't be done.

You should be able to double-click the attachment in the Reading Pane and
have it open.
