Opening DOC files from Windows Mail

I have Vista Business and Office 2007.

When using Windows Mail I try and open a .doc that is attached to an email.
Title Bar of the error pop up reads:
C:\User\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\T emporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\blah blah

I get a message that says "This file does not have a program associated with
it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations
control panel."

Word 2007 is set as the default handler of these files.

I can save the .doc file and open it from Documents, but not right out of
Windows Mail. This is the file assocation list:
