Unable to open .DOC attachments directly from Windows Mail in Windows Vista:
http://www.winhelponline.com/article...dows-Mail.html

If you intend to edit these files, you should save the attached files first,
close the message, then go open the saved file.

Dave, I have been able to open the attachments from following the
instructions. I have not installed windows live. I am a little shy in doing
so. I heard it has glitches. Is that true or just some talk, if you know.
Thanks
Linda

Re: attachments
All software has some 'glitches' or 'bugs'.
Windows Live Mail has far fewer glitches than Windows Mail, in part because
WLM benefitted from a much longer development cycle, and (unlike WM) is
receiving ongoing development support from Microsoft.
