Has anyone found a way to get PDF attachments to open by clicking on the
attachment icon? I know that you can save and then open the file, but that
is a pain. I tried Windows Live Mail and it too returns the "this file does
not have a program associated with it for performing this action" error. PDF
files are properly registered and do open from Windows Explorer.
 
Try this.

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works, (Adobe, Foxit?), and then
check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This
should enable you to open these attachments in the future.
 
Thank you Gary. I had tried to do this manually and it did not work until I
used this fix.
