The edited document is likely lost.

I suspect that she opened the document from with OE. That saves a
temporary copy in the IE Temporary Internet Files (TIF). The word
processor was using that copy and saving to that copy. OE will delete
that copy when you close the message. The attachment in the original
message is never modified.

On the outside chance that OE didn't delete the TIF version, you would
need to search the TIF from a command line interface.

My wife did a lot of work on a WP document that I sent her as an
attachment,
but did not save it to the hard drive while doing so, or after she
finished
(she was just hitting "save" while she was working on it). Now that
she's
closed WP, is there any way we can locate the edited document? I've
tried
going back to the message and re-opening the attachment, but it is in
the
same state it was when I originally sent it to her - i.e., all her
work has
been lost. And when I tried to find it by opening WP and using the
File
List, it told me it couldn't locate that file.
