trouble viewing attachments

[deborah]

I'm having trouble opening .pdf file attachments from my
email. It keeps opening to a default of Microsoft Imaging,
which is not able to view the file. I have to download the
file to my computer, then open Acrobat, then view the
file. How do I change the default, so it automatically
opens with my Acrobat Reader for viewing, without having
to download?
