How do I read a PDF email file attachment?

What did you do to open your pdf files? Please let me know, mlierpp

either install the newest version from Adobe Reader or install Foxit:

Download and install the Adobe Reader.

If you also want to be able to open .pdf attachments within Windows
Mail, see here:

Avoid installing the Google Toolbar - it causes problems in Windows
Mail.

Since we switched to Vista I'm unable to open/read PDF file attachments when
receiving emails.

If you can't open a pdf in your email with Windows Mail, right click & save
as into a folder. Once you've done that, open the folder, right click what
you just saved & click properties. This will then give you an option with
what to open your file with. Even if you have Adobe installed it won't
necessarily open the file until you tell it to.
What's probably been happening is the file wanted to open with Internet
Explorer, you need to change it to Adobe & it will work.
