1: Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works and then check the box: Always
use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open
these attachments in the future.

Recently, I uninstalled a bunch of old Adobe stuff.

Now when I try to open a PDF email attachment, I get, "This file does not
have a program associated with it for performing this action."

However, if I save the attachments, I can go to Windows Explore and double
click the file and it opens with Adobe Reader 9.

How can I fix this?
