Hi! Thanks.
But the problem was with the user: in the registry, I found the 'OpenWith'
(
or ProgIds) keys for IE, Word, and AcrodRd32 ( Adobe reader) for the .pdf
extension. He has been doing spmehing with File Associations that he
should
not have done. In Folder Options-FileTypes, I deleted the .PDF entry. But
when I clicked on a .pdf file, it opened. I found the .PDF entry had come
back. On opening the mail in question, and clicking on the .pdf
attachment,
the .pdf opened.

Thanks again

Mohan

use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open
these attachments in the future.

If you are using Adobe Reader, then that is the program you want to check.
On one Outlook Express 6.0 client, one mail was received with a .pdf
attachment. When the user doubleclicks on this attachment, OE gives the
